From: High-throughput screening of 2D van der Waals crystals with plastic deformability

a High-throughput calculation flow. All the steps are automatized except for steps 6 and 15. b Crystal structure of CeTe3 as a case example. c GSFE surface of (001) plane (up) to analyze the interlayer slip (down) for CeTe3. The black dots represent slip vectors, corresponding to the various slipped structures. The GSFE surface can be divided into 16 equivalent triangles (see black dash lines) because of the crystal symmetry. d Three possible cross-layer cleavage planes for CeTe3.
