TLDR
It is revealed that adventitious impurities of C, N, and O can substitute into the NbSe2 lattice stabilizing Se divacancies, and Se monovacancies are the most frequently observed defects, consistent with DFT calculations of their formation energy.Abstract:
We have investigated the structure of atomic defects within monolayer NbSe2 encapsulated in graphene by combining atomic resolution transmission electron microscope imaging, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and strain mapping using geometric phase analysis. We demonstrate the presence of stable Nb and Se monovacancies in monolayer material and reveal that Se monovacancies are the most frequently observed defects, consistent with DFT calculations of their formation energy. We reveal that adventitious impurities of C, N, and O can substitute into the NbSe2 lattice stabilizing Se divacancies. We further observe evidence of Pt substitution into both Se and Nb vacancy sites. This knowledge of the character and relative frequency of different atomic defects provides the potential to better understand and control the unusual electronic and magnetic properties of this exciting two-dimensional material.read more

Atomic-scale control of graphene magnetism by using hydrogen atoms
TL;DR: Hollen and Gupta as mentioned in this paper showed that the adsorption of a single hydrogen atom on graphene induces a magnetic moment characterized by a ~20 millielectron volt spin-split state at the Fermi energy.

Atomic structure of defects and dopants in 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides.
TL;DR: This review will provide an atomic level understanding of 2D TMDs with a connection to imperfections that can arise from chemical vapour deposition synthesis, intentional doping, rips and tears, dislocations, strain, polycrystallinity and confinement to nanoribbons.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple
TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
