Evolution of defect formation during atomically precise desulfurization of monolayer MoS2

Desulfurization of MoS2 alters its chemical and physical properties by breaking structural symmetry. Here, the atomic-scale mechanistic pathway by which this occurs is investigated during plasma etching, and changes in chemical structure and physical properties are revealed.
