MoSe2 in the materials database

[ams_nanolab]

Could you add MoSe2 in the database in the upcoming release?

It's pretty trivial to convert MoS2 to MoSe2, just change the lattice constant to a=3.288 and c=12.9 Å, while keeping the fractional coordinates fixed, since according to PRB 35, 6195 (1987), the two crystals are very similar from a symmetry-perspective.

But sure, we can add it.

MoSe₂, MoTe₂, WS₂, WSe₂ and WTe₂ have been added to the database and will be part of 12.8 final release.
