  1. While the qualitative features of the charge oscillations are well reproduced for the parameter free model, the quantitative agreement between Fig. 2a,d are obtained by using the fitted parameter values in the table above. Note that the values for Mz and are not fit but instead taken directly from the ground-state wavefunctions and the single particle energies of the TDDFT-MD simulation, respectively. The calculated value of shown is the average of those values obtained from bulk MoS2 and bulk WS2 of 7.55 and 6.92, respectively. The largest deviation between the fit and calculated values is obtained for the effective distance, View full size image, between the slabs. Here we note that the Coulombic attraction between the electron and hole in the dynamics may reduce this distance as observed by the fitted value being 25% shorter than that obtained from the ground-state wavefunctions.
