We give a large class of supersymmetric Janus solutions in -deformed (dyonic) SO(8) maximal gauged supergravity with
. Unlike the purely electric counterpart, the dyonic SO(8) gauged supergravity exhibits a richer structure of
vacua with
supersymmetries and SO(8), U(3),
and SU(3) symmetries, respectively. Similarly, domain walls interpolating among these critical points show a very rich structure as well. In this paper, we show that this gauged supergravity also accommodates a number of interesting supersymmetric Janus solutions in the form of
-sliced domain walls asymptotically interpolating between the aforementioned
geometries. These solutions could be holographically interpreted as two-dimensional conformal defects within the superconformal field theories (SCFTs) of ABJM type dual to the
vacua. We also give a class of solutions interpolating among the SO(8),
and U(3)
vacua in the case of
which have not previously appeared in the presently known Janus solutions of electric SO(8) gauged supergravity.
