Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate the structure, stability, optical modes and electronic band gap of a distorted tetragonal MoS$_2$ monolayer (T-MoS$_2$). Our simulated scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) images of T-MoS$_2$ are dramatically similar with those STM images which were identified as K$_{x}$(H$_{2}$O)$_{y}$MoS$_{2}$ from a previous experimental study. This similarity suggests that T-MoS$_2$ might have already been observed in experiment but was unexpectedly misidentified. Furthermore, we verify the stability of T-MoS$_2$ from thermal, mechanical and dynamic aspects, by emph{ab initio} molecular dynamics simulation, elastic constants evaluation and phonon band structure calculation based on density functional perturbation theory, respectively. In addition, we calculate the eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors of the optical modes of T-MoS$_2$ at $Gamma$ point and distinguish their Raman and infrared activity by pointing out their irreducible representations using group theory; at the same time, we compare the Raman modes of T-MoS$_2$ with those of H-MoS$_2$ and T-MoS$_2$. Our results provide a useful guidance for further experimental identification and characterization of T-MoS$_2$.

Chemically and mechanically exfoliated MoS$_2$ single-layer samples have substantially different properties. While mechanically exfoliated single-layers are mono-phase (1H polytype with Mo in trigonal prismatic coordination), the chemically exfoliate
d samples show coexistence of three different phases, 1H, 1T (Mo in octahedral coordination) and 1T$^{}$ (a distorted $2times 1$ 1T-superstructure). By using first-principles calculations, we investigate the energetics and the dynamical stability of the three phases. We show that the 1H phase is the most stable one, while the metallic 1T phase, strongly unstable, undergoes a phase transition towards a metastable and insulating 1T$^{}$ structure composed of separated zig-zag chains. We calculate electronic structure, phonon dispersion, Raman frequencies and intensities for the 1T$^{}$ structure. We provide a microscopical description of the J$_1$, J$_2$ and J$_3$ Raman features first detected more then $20$ years ago, but unexplained up to now. Finally, we show that H adsorbates, that are naturally present at the end of the chemical exfoliation process, stabilize the 1T$^{prime}$ over the 1H one.
We measure the thermal time constants of suspended single layer molybdenum disulfide drums by their thermomechanical response to a high-frequency modulated laser. From this measurement the thermal diffusivity of single layer MoS$_2$ is found to be 1.
14 $times$ 10$^{-5}$ m$^2$/s on average. Using a model for the thermal time constants and a model assuming continuum heat transport, we extract thermal conductivities at room temperature between 10 to 40 W/(m$cdot$K). Significant device-to-device variation in the thermal diffusivity is observed. Based on statistical analysis we conclude that these variations in thermal diffusivity are caused by microscopic defects that have a large impact on phonon scattering, but do not affect the resonance frequency and damping of the membranes lowest eigenmode. By combining the experimental thermal diffusivity with literature values of the thermal conductivity, a method is presented to determine the specific heat of suspended 2D materials, which is estimated to be 255 $pm$ 104 J/(kg$cdot$K) for single layer MoS$_2$.
We present a theoretical study using density functional calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal, noble metal and Zn atoms interacting with carbon monovacancies in graphene. We pay special attention to
the electronic and magnetic properties of these substitutional impurities and found that they can be fully understood using a simple model based on the hybridization between the states of the metal atom, particularly the d shell, and the defect levels associated with an unreconstructed D3h carbon vacancy. We identify three different regimes associated with the occupation of different carbon-metal hybridized electronic levels: (i) bonding states are completely filled for Sc and Ti, and these impurities are non-magnetic; (ii) the non-bonding d shell is partially occupied for V, Cr and Mn and, correspondingly, these impurties present large and localized spin moments; (iii) antibonding states with increasing carbon character are progressively filled for Co, Ni, the noble metals and Zn. The spin moments of these impurities oscillate between 0 and 1 Bohr magnetons and are increasingly delocalized. The substitutional Zn suffers a Jahn-Teller-like distortion from the C3v symmetry and, as a consequence, has a zero spin moment. Fe occupies a distinct position at the border between regimes (ii) and (iii) and shows a more complex behavior: while is non-magnetic at the level of GGA calculations, its spin moment can be switched on using GGA+U calculations with moderate values of the U parameter.
To date, germanene has only been synthesized on metallic substrates. A metallic substrate is usually detrimental for the two-dimensional Dirac nature of germanene because the important electronic states near the Fermi level of germanene can hybridize
with the electronic states of the metallic substrate. Here we report the successful synthesis of germanene on molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$), a band gap material. Pre-existing defects in the MoS$_2$ surface act as preferential nucleation sites for the germanene islands. The lattice constant of the germanene layer (3.8 $pm$ 0.2 AA) is about 20% larger than the lattice constant of the MoS$_2$ substrate (3.16 AA). Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations reveal that there are, besides the linearly dispersing bands at the $K$ points, two parabolic bands that cross the Fermi level at the $Gamma$ point.
First-principles density functional theory methods are used to investigate the structure, energetics, and vibrational motions of the neutral vacancy defect in diamond. The measured optical absorption spectrum demonstrates that the tetrahedral $T_d$ p
oint group symmetry of pristine diamond is maintained when a vacancy defect is present. This is shown to arise from the presence of a dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion that is stabilised by large vibrational anharmonicity. Our calculations further demonstrate that the dynamic Jahn-Teller-distorted structure of $T_d$ symmetry is lower in energy than the static Jahn-Teller distorted tetragonal $D_{2d}$ vacancy defect, in agreement with experimental observations. The tetrahedral vacancy structure becomes more stable with respect to the tetragonal structure by increasing temperature. The large anharmonicity arises mainly from quartic vibrations, and is associated with a saddle point of the Born-Oppenheimer surface and a minimum in the free energy. This study demonstrates that the behaviour of Jahn-Teller distortions of point defects can be calculated accurately using anharmonic vibrational methods. Our work will open the way for first-principles treatments of dynamic Jahn-Teller systems in condensed matter.
