Abstract
Single-layer molybdenum disulfide (SL-MoS2) is a noncentrosymmetric semiconductor with a direct bandgap of about 1.8eV. Many properties of SL-MoS2 are poorly understood. Weakly bound adsorbates such a physisorbed water may strongly alter its physical properties. Here we quantitatively explore how adsorbed water influences the electrical and photonic properties of SL-MoS2.
