Atomic-scale defects in the two-dimensional ferromagnet CrI<sub>3</sub> from first principles
The family of atomically thin magnets holds great promise for a number of prospective applications in magneto-optoelectronics, with CrI$_3$ arguably being its most prototypical member. However, the formation of defects in this system remains unexplored to date. Here, we investigate native point defects in monolayer CrI$_3$ by means of first-principles …
