Table 1 Lattice mismatch was calculated using the lattice constant of MoS2 (a = 5.514 Å). Distance h is the difference between the averaged z-position values of S and Al at the interface. Work function was computed by the equation, W = Efermi − ϕvac, Efermi is the Fermi energy of the total system (MoS2 + metal substrate), and ϕvac is the vacuum potential of the system. SBH was calculated as mentioned in the legend of Fig. 3
