Stability of metallic edges and Fermi-level pinning in transition-metal dichalcogenide nanoribbons

Daphne Davelou, Georgios Kopidakis, Efthimios Kaxiras +1

Nanoribbons of MoS${}_2$ present a unique electronic structure that consists of a semiconducting bulk bounded by metallic edges; same holds for other Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides…
