Abstract:
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is widely used in optoelectronic devices due to its
properties like high mobility, effective luminescence and strong binding energy. When 2D TMDs
are reduced to 0D (zero dimensional) then we have a single MoS2 quantum dot (QD), and an
entirely special electronic property arises due to its quantum confinement effect which exhibits a
larger direct band gap (3.96 eV) when compared to monolayer 2D sheets (1.89 eV)[1].
