Table 3 Comparative summary table. An inclusive Doped and Adsorbed System structural, d-p-d hybridization (d-p-d), stability, and MAE results in comparison. Ionic radii (ṙ), Difference in Electronegativity (∆χ) = (χ)W- (χ)X, Bond length difference from the host W-S/Se bond length (%) ∆lb / ∆la, Stability measured as Ef or Eb for doped and adsorbed system respectively. Note that d-p-d hybridization (d-p-d) is expressed in a qualitative word based on V-WSSe results as a base.

From: Defect states in magnetically “seasoned” WSSe – adsorption and doping effects of magnetic transition metals X = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co – a comprehensive first-principles study
