Abstract

We report synthesis and transport properties of the minimal graphite intercalation compound, a ferric chloride (FeCl(3))(n) island monolayer inside bilayer graphene. Chemical doping by the intercalant is simultaneously probed by micro-Raman spectroscopy and Hall measurements. Quantum oscillations of conductivity originate from microscopic domains of intercalated and unintercalated regions. A slight upturn in resistance related to magnetic transition is observed. Two-dimensional intercalation in bilayer graphene opens new possibilities to engineer two-dimensional properties of intercalates.
