Carrier capture at point defects determines the lifetime of charge carriers and is therefore a very important process for both electronic and opto-electronic devices. The general theory of nonradiative recombination via the so-called multiphonon emission is rather well established, but most studies to date have mainly focused on the description in bulk materials. In this work, we investigate nonradiative carrier capture for a prototypical 2D material, molybdenum disulphide MoS2. Multiphonon emission is governed by (i) electron-phonon coupling between the band edge states and defect states and (ii) the change in the defect geometry upon carrier capture. Our results provide a preliminary description for nonradiative electron capture at sulphur vacancies in monolayer MoS2. In particular, we reveal the important role of the Jahn-Teller effect on the capture process.
