  Abstract:
We report a comprehensive van der Waals density functional theory study on the adsorption characteristics of four canonical and six epigenetically modified DNA nucleobases on single-layer molybdenum disulfide (SL-MoS2) substrates. All the considered nucleobases are physisorbed on SL-MoS2 with a modest electron transfer, ranging from 0:007eV to 0:041eV, from the adsorbates to SL-MoS2. Upon the physisorption of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine on the SL-MoS2 sheet, the work function is decreased by 0.29, 0.09, 0.54, and 0.01 eV, respectively. It is shown that the bandgap of SL-MoS2 can be significantly reduced, by as much as 30
