Atomic structure and dynamics of self-limiting sub-nanometer pores in monolayer WS2
- Abstract:
-
We reveal a self-limiting mechanism during the formation of a specific type of circular nanopore in monolayer WS2 that limits its diameter to sub-nm. A single W atom vacancy (triangular nanopore) is transformed into the self-limiting nanopore (SLNP) through the atomic restructuring of S atoms around the area, reducing the number of dangling bonds at the nanopore edge by shifting them further in-plane with W-W bonding instead. Bond rotations in WS2 help accommodate the electron beam induced at...
