value (n-> inf, bulk)

How is value of band gap for layered material for n-> inf and bulk different from each other?

In Fig. 2 (h) of Qiao et. al. NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | 5:4475 | DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5475 |www.nature.com/naturecommunications

The inf and Bulk values are different. I am confused by this.

And how do they explain this in the article?

It seems the so called "Bulk" value they are quoting is extrapolated and not calculated ones, and hence are different from n->inf values.  :o :o Thanks my confusion is clear now.

So it should be safe to assume n->inf band gap value as the bulk (theoretical) value, I suppose.  ;D
