Small stoichiometric (MoS2)n clusters with the 1T phase

Stoichiometric (MoS2)n clusters (n = 1–6) were systematically studied by density functional theory calculations with hybrid B3LYP and pure GGA PW91 functionals. The most stable structures of these clusters were obtained by global optimizations with a genetic algorithm. A triangle of Mo3 capped with a S atom was found to be a favourite building block, which can construct the most stable structures (or at least candidates) for n = 3–6 clusters. These types of structures can be viewed as fragments of MoS2 monolayer with the 1T phase, which is an important phase that has unique reactivity and conductivity properties. Electronic structures were analyzed by means of density of states and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), which suggest that both Mo and S contribute to the FMOs below the Fermi energy while Mo atoms contribute more toward the unoccupied FMOs.

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.
