Single-site point defects in semimetal WTe2: A density functional theory study

We study the single atom points defects in the 1T’ phase of tungsten ditelluride (WTe2) using density functional theory calculations. Various defects including vacancy, antisite, and interstitial are considered. All the considered defects are non-magnetic. Some of the generated localized defect stat...
