Popis: The structure and electronic properties of MoS 2 and SiC (single-layer SiC, double layer SiC, C-terminated SiC and Si-terminated SiC) composites were investigated by using density functional theory calculations. The calculation results show that the electronic properties of MoS 2 are modified at different levels by combining with different thickness of SiC. The heterostructures (MoS 2 /C-terminated SiC and MoS 2 /Si-terminated SiC) possess larger binding energies than MoS 2 /single-layer SiC and MoS 2 /bilayer SiC, suggesting the higher stability for MoS 2 /C-terminated SiC and MoS 2 /Si-terminated SiC composites. It is found that charge transfer is from SiC to MoS 2 in these heterostructures. MoS 2 /single-layer SiC, MoS 2 /double-layer SiC and MoS 2 /C-terminated SiC are semiconductors, whereas MoS 2 /Si-terminated SiC has no gap.
