Erratum: Twist angle-dependent atomic reconstruction and moire patterns in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures (ACS Nano (2020) 14:4 (4550−4558) DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.0c00088)

Abstract

We have discovered a labeling error in our recently published Article entitled “Twist Angle-Dependent Atomic Reconstruction and Moire Patterns in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures”. These corrections have no bearing on the general findings of the paper, but will be apparent to the expert reader who is carefully comparing the energy differences produced by our density functional theory calculations. We feel that it is important to correct these errors so that the details of the calculations for the AB and BA structures are correctly presented. We sincerely apologize to the community for any confusion that these mistakes have caused, and we hope that correcting these mistakes will prevent any future confusion. Specifically, the labels for the AB and BA structures in the DFT calculations were inadvertently reversed in the original manuscript text and on certain figures. The affected figures are Figures 1b, 4, 5, S3, S10, and S13. The labels have been corrected, and the corresponding changes in the text describing these figures has been corrected. We unfortunately also found several typographical errors. In the last paragraph before the conclusion: the observed difference in PL emission energy should read “49 meV”. In the “Density Functional Theory Calculations” section: The lattice constant for 60° MoS2/WS2 structures should read “a = 3.166 Å,” and the lattice constant for 0° MoS2/WS2 should read “a = 3.167 Å.” In the caption to Figure 5b: It should read “60°+δ (red) heterostructures.” In Figure S4c, the label for the gold line should indicate “δ = 1.0°”. In Figure S4g, the label should read “189 nm/10 periods”. Finally, the text describing Figure 1f should state that “δ = 0.5°−1.0°”.
