Abstract Controlling many-body interactions in two-dimensional systems remains a formidable task from the perspective of both fundamental physics and application.Here, we explore remarkable electronic structure alterations of MoS2 monolayer islands on graphene on Ir(111) induced by Walking Boots non-invasive self-intercalation.This introduces significant differences in morphology and strain of MoS2 as a result of the modified interaction with the substrate.Consequently, considerable changes of the band gap and non-rigid electronic shifts of valleys are detected, which are a combined effect of the screening of the many-body interactions and strain in MoS2.

Furthermore, theory shows that each substrate leaves a unique stamp on the electronic structure of two-dimensional material in terms of those two parameters, Bino Straps restricted by their correlation.
