Novel Pd_{2}Se_{3} Two-Dimensional Phase Driven by Interlayer Fusion in Layered PdSe_{2}.
Physical Review Letters 2017 July 8
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are easily fabricated when their bulk form has a layered structure. The monolayer form in layered transition-metal dichalcogenides is typically the same as a single layer of the bulk material. However, PdSe_{2} presents a puzzle. Its monolayer form has been theoretically shown to be stable, but there have been no reports that monolayer PdSe_{2} has been fabricated. Here, combining atomic-scale imaging in a scanning transmission electron microscope and density functional theory, we demonstrate that the preferred monolayer form of this material amounts to a melding of two bulk monolayers accompanied by the emission of Se atoms so that the resulting stoichiometry is Pd_{2}Se_{3}. We further verify the interlayer melding mechanism by creating Se vacancies in situ in the layered PdSe_{2} matrix using electron irradiation. The discovery that strong interlayer interactions can be induced by defects and lead to the formation of new 2D materials opens a new venue for the exploration of defect engineering and novel 2D structures.
