Figure 3: Single atomic defect in a monolayered WS2 nanoribbon.
From: Identification of active atomic defects in a monolayered tungsten disulphide nanoribbon

(a, b) Dynamic process of the atomic defects created at S sites. (a) Edge-atom loss of S and (b) vacancy creation. (c) Simple W monovacancy and (d) W vacancy with a large distortion in the surrounding lattice. The open blue arrows indicate the loss of S atoms and the red open arrows indicate W vacancies.
