Electronic Properties of Defects in Few-Layer MoS<sub>2</sub> Films

ORAL

Abstract

We report on structural and electronic properties of defects in chemical vapor-deposited monolayer and few-layer MoS2 films. Scanning tunneling microscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to obtain quantitative measurements of the local density of states, work function and nature and mobility of defects. These defects include point defects such as S and Mo vacancies as well as extended defects such as film edges and grain boundaries.
