## Description

- description: Using a continuous elastic model combined with intershell van der Waals
    interaction, we investigated the energetics of nanoscrolls formed from the transition-metal
    dichalcogenides (TMDs) MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, MoSSe, and WSSe. We found that,
    for TMD nanoscrolls with short rolled lengths, the strain effect competes with
    van der Waals effects to determine the geometries of the nanoscrolls. By contrast,
    for long rolled lengths, van der Waals effects dominate, leading to a high stability
    of the scrolled conformation for all TMDs. For Janus TMD nanoscrolls with short
    rolled length, the combination of curvature induced by the intrinsic strain and
    van der Waals interactions leads to bistable morphologies, characterized by scroll
    and arch conformations. These conformations can be switched by external conditions.
