Being a member of the van der Waals class of solids, bilayer MoS2 exhibits polytypism due to different possible stacking arrangements, namely, 2Hc, 2Ha and 3R-polytypes. Unlike monolayer MoS2, these bilayers exhibit indirect band gaps. Band extrema states originate from a linear combination of Mo-(d) and S-(p) orbitals which are sensitive to the interlayer interactions. We have studied the impact of stacking pattern on the electronic structure and electron/hole transport properties of these polytypes. Based on first-principles computations coupled with the Boltzmann transport formalism, we found that a strong electron–hole anisotropy can be realised in the 2Ha-MoS2 polytype unlike in a monolayer which is isotropic in nature. A staggered arrangement between two layers results in a higher relaxation time for electrons compared to holes leading to anisotropy which is of importance in device engineering.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
