Background:

Defect engineering is crucial for tailoring material properties.
Traditional defect analysis methods in STEM are prone to noise and bias.
Deep learning (DL) for defect detection requires large, labeled datasets, posing a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a DL-based method for defect detection in STEM images that minimizes data requirements and noise sensitivity.
To visualize atomic defects and dopants in two-dimensional (2D) materials.

Main Methods:

Utilized CycleGAN and U-Nets, a type of deep learning model.
Trained the model using minimal data, specifically unit-cell-level images.
Applied the method to analyze monolayer MoS₂.

Main Results:

Successfully visualized atomic defects and oxygen dopants in monolayer MoS₂.
Demonstrated a method effective with a single experimental STEM image.
Showcased the model's ability to overcome image noise and reduce annotation costs.

Conclusions:

The proposed method enables efficient defect detection with minimal training data.
This approach can be extended to various 2D materials.
Offers a powerful new way to leverage DL in materials science for defect analysis.
