Ag and Au atoms intercalated in bilayer heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene

The diffusive motion of metal nanoparticles Au and Ag on monolayer and between bilayer heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene are investigated in the framework of density functional theory. We found that the minimum energy barriers for diffusion and the possibility of clus...
