Minimizing disorder and defects is crucial for realizing the full potential of two-dimensional transition metal dichalco-genides(TMDs)materials and improving device performance to desired properties.However,the methods in defect control currently face challenges with overly large operational areas and a lack of precision in targeting specific defects.Therefore,we propose a new method for the precise and universal defect healing of TMD materials,integrating real-time imaging with scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM).This method employs electron beam irradiation to stimulate the diffu-sion migration of surface-adsorbed adatoms on TMD materials grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy(MBE),and heal defects within the diffusion range.This approach covers defect repairs ranging from zero-dimensional vacancy defects to two-dimensional grain orientation alignment,demonstrating its universality in terms of the types of samples and defects.These findings offer insights into the use of atomic-level focused electron beams at appropriate voltages in STEM for defect healing,providing valuable experience for achieving atomic-level precise fabrication of TMD materials.
