Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is layered transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC), which in its monolayer form, has the direct bandgap of 1.8 eV. We investigated the effect of width and strain on quantum transport for MoS2 armchair nanoribbons. That indicates MoS2 armchair nanoribbons are a good candidate for transistors even with strain.
