We have studied the response to external strain of h-BN, graphene, MoSe2, and phosphorene, four archetypal 2D materials, which contain substitutional impurities, using first-principles calculations. We find that the formation energy of the defect structures can either increase or decrease with bi-axial tensile strain, depending on the atomic radius of the impurity atom which can be larger or smaller than that of the host atom. Analysis of the strain maps indicates that this behavior is associated with the compressive or tensile local strains produced by the impurities that interfere with the external strain. The discovered trends are consistent across all studied 2D materials and are likely to be general. Our findings open up opportunities for combined strain- and defect-engineering to tailor the opto-electronic properties of 2D materials, and specifically, the location and properties of single-photon emitters.
