Tailored topotactic chemistry unlocks heterostructures of magnetic intercalation compounds by Samra Husremović, Oscar Gonzalez, Berit H. Goodge, Lilia S. Xie, Zhizhi Kong, Wanlin Zhang, Sae Hee Ryu, Stephanie M. Ribet, Shannon S. Fender, Karen C. Bustillo, Chengyu Song, Jim Ciston, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Colin Ophus, Chris Jozwiak, Aaron Bostwick, Eli Rotenberg, D. Kwabena Bediako

“…Here, we demonstrate a method for synthesizing heterostructures comprising magnetic intercalation compounds of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), through directed topotactic reaction of the TMD with a metal oxide. The mechanism of the intercalation reaction enables thermally initiated intercalation of the TMD from lithographically patterned oxide films, giving access to a family of multi-component magnetic architectures through the combination of deterministic van der Waals assembly and directed intercalation chemistry.…”
