• structural defects significantly affect the electronic properties of the material. The present study utilizes angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and surface-sensitive core-level spectroscopy (SXPS, XAS) with synchrotron radiation to investigate the interfaces between defect-rich MoS2 and

• evidence of changes in surface chemical states due to irradiation. In summary, we elucidate the underlying mechanism responsible for the retrieval of the B1 phase from the transformed B2 phase following O ion irradiation using core-level spectroscopy. While the B1 to B2 phase transformation is reported to
