| Abstract Scope |
Atomic-scale defect structures can affect the electronic and quantum properties of crystalline materials. For instance, defects can affect how electrons are distributed or how charges move in materials, with implications for the functionality of semiconductors, superconductors, and topological materials. Due to the relatively weak interactions between layers in van der Waals materials, new types of defects can arise, and characterizing them in detail is paramount to understanding and engineering materials’ properties. The details about defect structures and correlation with growth and processing parameters are critical to future advancements. Here, we present on van der Waals chalcogenide materials grown by several methods. We will discuss atomic-scale observations made via scanning and transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and discuss the relationship between localized defect structures and the global crystalline ordering. |
