Abstract

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the prominent tight-binding (TB) models for transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) available in the literature. We inspect the construction of these TB models, discuss their parameterization used and conduct a thorough comparison of their effectiveness in capturing important electronic properties. Based on these insights, we propose a novel TB model for TMDs designed for enhanced computational efficiency. Utilizing $MoS_2$ as a representative case, we explain why specific models offer a more accurate description. Our primary aim is to assist researchers in choosing the most appropriate TB model for their calculations on TMDs.

List of changes

- Added references for a complete list of important tight-binding models in literature for the TMDs studied in the manuscript
- Added a new subsection title and elaborated more on the specific details of the novel tight-binding model
- Some minor typos and adjustments
