Thanks Darshana,

could you help me out  to create monolayer of TMDs? 

Thanks a lot Darshana. 

Hi Darshana, Thanks for giving the structure file of MoS2 monolayer.

But I want to know how do you get this? I have tried to do in VESTA but I can't.

I made a structure and here I have attached the screen shot of the structure, please tell me is it monolayer or not?

If not please guide me how do I make monolayer from bulk?

I am beginner in using VESTA, can you share the file of the MoS2 structure?

Dear Miguel,

4x4 supercell of MoS2 structure file is attached. I hope this helps 

Thank you Ashwin!

Wrote a script which allows you to generate n*n MoS2 mono-layer (could be read by VESTA)

*crystal structure data is cited from

Hope this could be helpful

I've noticed lots of people are reading this post. So I added an 'add vacuum option' which is often used for mono-layer calculation. The POSCAR file generated by last version has format issues. For standard 2D sheet calculation, 1*1 cell is enough because periodicity condition is used in DFT calculation. Also, the coordinate system is changed to 60 degree hexagonal one. To view the structure in VESTA, just add extension .vasp. The sequence of Mo and S corresponds to atom sequences in POTCAR. I apologise for the inconvenience caused by my code. Good luck guys

thank you all , but how can I get 1T phase structure ?

if someone have 1T phase data please share .
