Original paper Z. Zhang et al., Nat. Commun. 16, 763 (2025). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56113-4. Fig. 1 Figure 1. (a) The atomic structure and the corresponding Brillouin zone of the superlattice with a twist angle of θ; (b) Constant energy cut maps of pristine monolayer MoS2 (top panel) and MoS2-bP superlattices with θ=8.5° (bottom panel); (c) Valence bands of pristine monolayer MoS2 and MoS2-bP along the armchair (AC), AC+45° and zigzag (ZZ) directions in superlattices with θ=8.5°; (d) Band renormalization between pristine MoS2 and MoS2 on black phosphorus; (e) The unfolded bands projected onto Mo dz2 (cyan) and dx2+y2 (magenta) and P px orbitals (yellow) from DFT calculation.
