Two-dimensional materials such as layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal platforms for studying defect behaviors, an essential step towards defect engineering for novel material functions. Here, we image the 3D lattice locations of selenium-vacancy V_Se defects and manipulate them using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) near the surface of PdSe₂, a recently discovered pentagonal layered TMD. The V_Se show a characterisitc charging ring in a spatially resolved conductance map, based on which we can determine its subsurface lattice location precisely. Using the STM tip, not only can we reversibly switch the defect states between charge neutral and charge negative, but also trigger migrations of V_Se defects. This allows a demonstration of direct “writing” and “erasing” of atomic defects and tracing the diffusion pathways. First-principles calculations reveal a small diffusion barrier of V_Se in PdSe₂, which is much lower than S vacancy in MoS₂ or an O vacancy in TiO₂. As a result, this finding opens an opportunity of defect engineering in PdSe₂ for such as controlled phase transformations and resistive-switching memory device application.
