Abstract Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has a honeycomb crystal structure. Here, with considering the triangular sublattice of molybdenum atoms, a simple tight-binding Hamiltonian is introduced (derived) for studying the phase transition and topological superconductivity in MoS2 under uniaxial strain. It is shown that spin-singlet p+ip wave phase is a topological superconducting phase with nonzero Chern numbers. When the chemical potential is greater (smaller) than the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength, the Chern number is equal to four (two) and otherwise it is equal to zero. Also, the results show that, if the superconductivity energy gap is smaller than the SOC strength and the chemical potential is greater than the SOC strength, the zero energy Majorana states exist. Finally, we show that the topological superconducting phase is preserved under uniaxial strain.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
