First-Principles Study on the Effect of Strain on Single-Layer Molybdenum Disulfide

By adopting the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory, the electronic structure properties of single-layer MoS<sub>2</sub> (molybdenum disulfide) crystals under biaxial strain are studied. The calculation results in this paper show that whe...
