Abstract
The deliberate introduction of guest species into a material to modify its physical properties has been a subject of extensive research for a long time, with a well-known example being doping in semiconductors. The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials with a layered structure opens new opportunities for guest species in two distinct interactions: gating and intercalation. These methods allow for reversible modulation of 2D materials without disrupting covalent bonds. This dissertation presents the development and application of guest-species modulation in 2D materials for potential quantum and energy applications. Three specific examples are discussed, including the creation of a 3D magnetic superlattice and 2D magnetic monolayer through interlayer engineering of magnetic van der Waals Fe3GeTe2; the observation of an intermediate state during lithium intercalation in twisted bilayer MoS2; and the development of a catalysis transistor to dynamically control the hydrogen evolution reaction. This dissertation demonstrates the control of 2D materials for desired functions through an understanding of the gating and intercalation interactions of guest species and 2D materials, paving the way for new advancements in quantum and energy technology.
