Adsorption of H₂, O₂, H₂O, OH and H on monolayer MoS₂

Hydrogen and hydrogen-containing gases are commonly used as reductants in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of MoS<sub>2</sub>. Here, we consider the defects resulting from the presence of hydrogen during growth and the resulting electronically active defects. In particular, we find...

Description
Summary:Hydrogen and hydrogen-containing gases are commonly used as reductants in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of MoS<sub>2</sub>. Here, we consider the defects resulting from the presence of hydrogen during growth and the resulting electronically active defects. In particular, we find that the interstitial hydrogen defect is a negative-$U$ center with amphoteric donor and acceptor properties. Additionally, we consider the effects of the interaction with water and oxygen. The defects are analysed using density functional theory calculations.
