We show the successful intercalation of large area (1 cm$^2$) epitaxial few-layer graphene grown on 4H-SiC with FeCl$_3$. Upon intercalation the resistivity of this system drops from an average value of $approx 200 Omega/sq$ to $approx 16 Omega/sq$ at room temperature. The magneto-conductance shows a weak localization feature with a temperature dependence typical of graphene Dirac fermions demonstrating the decoupling into parallel hole gases of each carbon layer composing the FeCl$_3$ intercalated structure. The phase coherence length ($approx 1.2 mu$m at 280 mK) decreases rapidly only for temperatures higher than the 2-D magnetic ordering in the intercalant layer while it tends to saturate for temperatures lower than the antiferromagnetic ordering between the planes of FeCl$_3$ molecules providing the first evidence for magnetic ordering in the extreme two-dimensional limit of graphene.

We intercalate a van der Waals heterostructure of graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride with Au, by encapsulation, and show that Au at the interface is two dimensional. A charge transfer upon current annealing indicates redistribution of Au and induce
s splitting of the graphene bandstructure. The effect of in plane magnetic field confirms that splitting is due to spin-splitting and that spin polarization is in the plane, characteristic of a Rashba interaction with magnitude approximately 25 meV. Consistent with the presence of intrinsic interfacial electric field we show that the splitting can be enhanced by an applied displacement field in dual gated samples. Giant negative magnetoresistance, up to 75%, and a field induced anomalous Hall effect at magnetic fields < 1 T are observed. These demonstrate that hybridized Au has a magnetic moment and suggests the proximity to formation of a collective magnetic phase. These effects persist close to room temperature.
Various bandstructure engineering methods have been studied to improve the performance of graphitic transparent conductors; however none demonstrated an increase of optical transmittance in the visible range. Here we measure in situ optical transmitt
ance spectra and electrical transport properties of ultrathin-graphite (3-60 graphene layers) simultaneously via electrochemical lithiation/delithiation. Upon intercalation we observe an increase of both optical transmittance (up to twofold) and electrical conductivity (up to two orders of magnitude), strikingly different from other materials. Transmission as high as 91.7% with a sheet resistance of 3.0 {Omega} per square is achieved for 19-layer LiC6, which corresponds to a figure of merit {sigma}_dc/{sigma}_opt = 1400, significantly higher than any other continuous transparent electrodes. The unconventional modification of ultrathin-graphite optoelectronic properties is explained by the suppression of interband optical transitions and a small intraband Drude conductivity near the interband edge. Our techniques enable the investigation of other aspects of intercalation in nanostructures.
We investigate the effects of lithium intercalation in twisted bilayers of graphene, using first-principles electronic structure calculations. To model this system we employ commensurate supercells that correspond to twist angles of 7.34$^circ$ and 2
.45$^circ$. From the energetics of lithium absorption we demonstrate that for low Li concentration the intercalants cluster in the AA regions with double the density of a uniform distribution. The charge donated by the Li atoms to the graphene layers results in modifications to the band structure that can be qualitatively captured using a continuum model with modified interlayer couplings in a region of parameter space that has yet to be explored either experimentally or theoretically. Thus, the combination of intercalation and twisted layers simultaneously provides the means for spatial control over material properties and an additional knob with which to tune moire physics in twisted bilayers of graphene, with potential applications ranging from energy storage and conversion to quantum information.
Properties of many layered materials, including copper- and iron-based superconductors, topological insulators, graphite and epitaxial graphene can be manipulated by inclusion of different atomic and molecular species between the layers via a process
known as intercalation. For example, intercalation in graphite can lead to superconductivity and is crucial in the working cycle of modern batteries and supercapacitors. Intercalation involves complex diffusion processes along and across the layers, but the microscopic mechanisms and dynamics of these processes are not well understood. Here we report on a novel mechanism for intercalation and entrapment of alkali-atoms under epitaxial graphene. We find that the intercalation is adjusted by the van der Waals interaction, with the dynamics governed by defects anchored to graphene wrinkles. Our findings are relevant for the future design and application of graphene-based nano-structures. Similar mechanisms can also play a role for intercalation of layered materials.
In this work we use LEEM, XPEEM and XPS to study how the excess Si at the graphene-vacuum interface reorders itself at high temperatures. We show that silicon deposited at room temperature onto multilayer graphene films grown on the SiC(000[`1]) rapi
dly diffuses to the graphene-SiC interface when heated to temperatures above 1020. In a sequence of depositions, we have been able to intercalate ~ 6 ML of Si into the graphene-SiC interface.
