Several approaches have been explored for the functionalization of 2D materials: the use of different substrates, creation of intrinsic defects, adsorption and intercalation, substitutional doping, among others. For incorporation of substitutional dopants, a major challenge remains: the limited control over the concentration and form of incorporation. An alternative approach is to incorporate the foreign species by ultra-low energy (ULE) ion implantation, precisely tuning the number of implanted ions and their kinetic energy. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to controllably incorporate manganese (Mn) in graphene as a substitutional dopant using ULE ion implantation. Our approach is based on a wide range of characterization techniques, including STM/STS, synchrotron-based XPS, ARPES, XMCD, transport measurements and Raman spectroscopy. These experimental studies are complemented by DFT and MD calculations.
