- Author contribution statement
- The experimental data suggested that antisite defects were much more prevalent in MoS2 than had been expected. The theoretical modelling by the author explained this observation and yielded quantitative results of the formation energies as well as relaxed atomic structure models that could be directly compared to the observed ADF-STEM images. The modelling also considered the more usual defects, such as vacancies, and showed the energetic preferences for different point defects.
