ABSTRACT Controlling collective electronic phases in low‐dimensional materials is a central challenge for developing technologies based on charge‐density‐waves. Here, we report that perpendicular electric and magnetic fields can be utilized to tune the charge‐density‐wave transport in the quasi‐two‐dimensional material 1 T‐polytype tantalum disulfide. Using hexagonal boron nitride encapsulated thin‐film heterostructures with both top‐gate and bottom‐gate configurations, we find that electrical gating produces a non‐monotonic shift in the depinning threshold—behavior distinct from quasi‐one‐dimensional charge‐density‐wave systems. We further show that a perpendicular magnetic field increases the threshold voltage for domain depinning and can drive the incommensurate‐to‐nearly commensurate charge‐density‐wave phase transition, demonstrating magnetic control over a two‐dimensional electron–lattice condensate. The obtained results shed light on mechanisms governing charge‐density‐wave domain dynamics and reveal combined electrical and magnetic‐field control as a strategy for engineering low‐power‐dissipation devices and electronics for extreme environments.
