Fig. 8

a HAADF-STEM image of a partially covered Au (001) surface by monolayer MoS2 viewed from the [100]Au direction. Scale bar, 1 nm. b The corresponding intensity line profile of Mo layer in MoS2 (green line), Au4S4 interface layer (red line) and Au sublayer (gray line). c, d Stability of the Au4S4 phase in MD simulations without (c) or with (d) a monolayer MoS2 top. The orange, green and yellow spheres represent Au, Mo, and S atoms, respectively.
