Fig. 3: A comparison of the out-of-plane corrugation patterns among various relaxed MX2/M’X'2 vdWHSs (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se; where MX2 is the bottom layer and M’X'2 is the top layer).
From: Relaxation effects in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayer heterostructures
The shape of out-of-plane corrugation along the diagonal of the moiré superlattice at twist angle θ = 0° is illustrated. \({Z}_{{\rm{ML}},{\rm{bottom}}}\) is the out-of-plane displacement of metal atoms in bottom layer as denoted in Methods and \(Z\) is the diagonal length. Top layer possesses similar corrugation. Insert: Zoomed-in portion of the overlaid curves.
