  1. Magnetic moment per cell (in μB), to the dopant obtained from the Bader charge analysis, substitution energy of N atom (in eV) and Bader charge of N atom (in eV) calculated for different concentrations of nitrogen contents in N doped ReS2. The charges on N atoms at the in-plane sites increased from 6.2392 e to 6.2565 e, representing the electron accepting of N atoms. The charges on N atom at the edge site exhibited a much larger value of 6.4368 e. Meanwhile, it was preferential for nitrogen to substitute the edge sites than the in-plane sites, where the former (0.0936 eV) one possessed a smaller substitutional energy than the latter (0.1296 eV), agree well with the XPS results
