Tunable band gap of MoS2-SiC van der Waals heterostructures under normal strain and an external electric field

The structure and electronic properties of the MoS2/SiC van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures under an influence of normal strain and an external electric field have been investigated by the first-principles method. Our results reveal that the compressive strain has much influence on the band gap of...
