“…During the calculation, ten atomic layer thickness of GaN were chosen to simulate the bulk GaN crystal, since the calculated results would reveal little change beyond this thickness, where the skill was commonly employed in the previous reports. 50,51 The top-and side-views of the most stable atomic geometries of monolayer (002) MoS 2 on GaN (001), (010), and (100) planes are illustrated in Figure S4. The obtained optimized distances between MoS 2 and the three GaN planes are 2.75 Å, 2.62 and 2.53 Å, respectively, which are larger than the S−Ga (2.34 Å) and S−N (1.62 Å) bond lengths, 52,53 indicating the van der Waals interaction between MoS 2 and GaN surfaces in the three strucutures.…”
