The wide measured range of thermal conductivities (k)for monolayer {\mathrm{MoS}}_{2}and the corresponding incongruent calculated values in the literature all suggest that extrinsic defect thermal resistance is significant and varied in synthesized samples of this material. Here we present defect-mediated thermal transport calculations of {\mathrm{MoS}}_{2}using interatomic forces derived from density functional theory combined with...
