Elucidating the Structural, Electronic, Elastic, and Optical Properties of Bulk and Monolayer MoS Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides: A DFT Approach.

Due to their outstanding properties for optoelectronic and versatile electronic applications, the atomically thin layers of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials have demonstrated a potential candidacy to succeed its analog silicon-based technology. Hence, the elucidation of the most important features of these materials is indispensable. In this study, we provide a theoretical elucidation of the structural, electronic, elastic, and optical characteristics of TMDCs.
