Pressure-induced structural and electronic transformations of tungsten disulfide (WS₂) have been studied to 60 GPa, in both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic conditions, using four-probe electrical resistance measurements, micro-Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. Our results show the evidence for an isostructural phase transition from hexagonal 2H_c phase to hexagonal 2H_a phase, which accompanies the metallization at ~37 GPa. This isostructural transition occurs displacively over a large pressure range between 15 and 45 GPa and is driven by the presence of strong shear stress developed in the layer structure of WS₂ under non-hydrostatic compression. Interestingly, this transition is absent in hydrostatic conditions using He pressure medium, underscoring its strong dependence on the state of stress. We also attribute the absence to the incorporation of He atoms between the layers, mitigating the development of shear stress. We also conjecture a possibility of magnetic ordering in WS₂ that may occur at low temperature near the metallization.
