Anisotropic point defects in rhenium diselenide monolayers

Summary: Point defects in 1T″ anisotropic ReSe2 offer many possibilities for defect engineering, which could endow this two-dimensional semiconductor with new functionalities, but have so far received limited attention. Here, we systematically investigate a full spectrum of point defects in ReSe2, i...
