Abstract

The lamellar transition metal chalcogeno-phosphates (M2P2S6) form an important family of two-dimensional semiconducting materials. They exhibit highly two-dimensional physical properties and an unusual solid-state chemistry that makes them of interest for new technologies. The lamellar structure is formed by stacking layers along a unique crystallographic axis. Under appropriate conditions, guest molecules can diffuse into the space between the layers to form intercalation compounds. The process of intercalation often creates defects and impurity sites resulting in a dramatic modification of the chemical and physical properties of the host lattice.

Several experimental methods have been utilized to characterize the defect structure produced by intercalation: ESR spectroscopy has revealed the equilibrium structure of intercalated molecules. Photoluminescence studies have shown a broadening of the conduction band due to the insertion of defect levels near the band edges. Optically detected magnetic resonance measurements demonstrated the presence of a strongly coupled donor-acceptor pair in the intercalated lattice.
