Low energy consumption phase change memory via electrostatic gating of monolayer MoTe₂

This repo contains all data and plotting files needed to generate the figures found in

• Rehn, D. A., Li, Y., Pop, E. & Reed, E. J. Theoretical potential for low energy consumption phase change memory utilizing electrostatically-induced structural phase transitions in 2D materials. npj Computational Materials 4 (2018).

In this paper, we compute the energy input required to induce a phase transition via electrostatic gating in monolayer MoTe2.

We include 3 top-level directories:

• data: All input files and scripts related to generating data needed for figures.
• figures: Scripts used to generate figures in the paper. The scripts reference the data in the data directory (no data is provided in the figures folder).
• table: Provides a python file for computing values that are found in Table 1 of the paper.
