[en] Uniaxial and biaxial strain approaches are usually implemented to switch the ferroelastic states, which play a key role in the application of the ferroics and shape memory materials. In this work, by using the first-principles calculations, we found not only uniaxial strain, but also shear strain can induce a novel ferroelastic switching, in which the van der Waals (vdW) layered direction rotates with the ferroelastic transition in layered bulk PdSe2. This is an interesting phenomenon that has never been discovered. The novel three-state ferroelastic switching in layered PdSe2 also occurs under shear strain. Our result shows that the shear strain could be used as an effective approach for manipulating the functionalities of layered materials in potential device applications.
