Strain and electric field dependent variation in electronic and thermoelectric properties of PtS2

Ab initio calculations based on plane wave methods show that the band gap of PtS2 depends on the number of monolayers combined by van der Waals (vdW) interactions or spin orbit correction (SOC). The valence band minimum (VBM) is sensitive to the out-of-plane, and conduction band maximum (CBM) to the...
