We have successfully completed the simulation of SnS2 with GGA. However, the simulation show zero bandgap. Hence, we have applied U=9 eV ( Ref:<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:12pt"> </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:12pt">Phys.
