Abstract

The theory is presented for the electronic band structure of the dichalcogenide layer‐type crystal MoS~2~ in its 2H form. Group theory is used to treat an LCAO model based on s, p, d Mo atomic states, and s, p S atomic states. Hybridised spin‐orbit bands are examined along the Δ‐axis, and at the M‐ and K‐points in the Brillouin zone. A simple choice is proposed for the valence and conduction band Δ‐axis symmetry types.
