Résumé |
Herein we report the formation energies of native point defects in 1T-TiS2 material. In the present study we used one of the most refined models, e.g., a global hybrid density functional with dispersion corrections for all the calculations. The stability domain of 1T-TiS2 was thoroughly investigated. We demonstrate unambiguously that the most stable defect is titanium interstitial in octahedral site in the van der Waals gap. Indeed, this simple defect can explain the distinguishable electric behavior of TiS2 reported in the litterature, i.e., nondegenerated semiconductor (SC) or semimetal (SM) depending on the synthesis conditions. Simulated defect concentrations vs synthesis temperature are also provided and the SC-SM transition is discussed.
