“…These energetic particles are expected to have strong interactions with materials. [30][31][32] Radiation-induced defects in MoS 2 , such as vacancies, interstitials, and adatoms, affect its electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. [33][34][35][36][37] It is therefore essential to analyse and understand the formation of these defects in MoS 2 and the relation to their semiconducting and optical properties.…”
