Two-dimensional (2D) monolayer-bilayer (ML-BL) lateral junctions (LJs) have recently attracted attention due to their straightforward synthesis and resulting clean interface. Such systems consist of an extended ML with a secondary layer present only over half of the system, leading to an interface that is associated with the terminating edge of the secondary half layer. Our first-principles calculations reveal that the edges of the half layer completely lack reconstruction in the presence of unintentional dopants, in this case, Re. This observation is in startling contrast to the known physics of three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor surfaces where reconstruction has been widely observed. Herein, the electrostatics of the reduced dimensionality allows for greater separation between compensating defects, enabling dopants to remotely passivate edge states without needing to directly participate in the chemistry.
