In this study, we investigate the uniaxial strain effect on the electronic properties of MoS2 monolayer by first-principles calculations. Our calculation shows the crossover of the K ― K direct to  ―K indirect transition occurs at a strain of 1.743%. In addition, we also observed a strong correlation between bandgap modification and the density of states (DOS) of Mo-4𝑑 and S-3𝑝 at valence band maximum and conduction band minimum. We propose that the interatomic distance modified by the uniaxial strain along 𝑎-axis does not only create different rates of bandgap alteration but also affects the Mo-4𝑑 DOS and possible electronic transitions. This study points to the mechanism behind the electronic structure modification of two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, which might have important implication on intervalley transitions.CC0 WaiverANSN-2021-0181.R1_Proof_hi (1).pdfapplication/pdf
