Abstract

Abstract

Because of their unique physical properties, the monolayer and few-layer two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides with atomic-level thickness are expected to play an important role in the next generation of optoelectronic devices. However, defects in two-dimensional materials affect their properties to a great extent. On one hand, defects reduce the fluorescence quantum efficiency, carrier mobility and other important device parameters. On the other hand, the control and utilization of defects have given birth to new techniques such as using single-photon sources. Therefore, it is very important to characterize, understand, handle and control the defects in two-dimensional materials. In this review, the research progress on defects and its related carrier dynamics in two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides is summarized. This paper aims to sort out the great influence of defects and their related ultrafast dynamics on material performance in two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides, and to support studies on fundamental physical properties and high-performance optoelectronic devices.
