摘要:

库仑相互作用对电子系统的基态有决定性的影响。相互作用可以发挥有趣作用的最简单系统是弦上的两个电子。在存在强相互作用的情况下,两个电子被预测形成维格纳分子,由于它们的相互排斥而分离到弦的末端。这种空间结构被认为是清晰地印在能谱上,但迄今为止,在可控的一维设置中对这种谱的直接测量仍然缺失。在这里,我们使用一个超净悬浮碳纳米管,以实现这一系统在一个可调的潜力。使用隧道光谱,我们测量两个相互作用的载流子,电子或空穴的激发光谱,并确定其自旋和同位旋量子数的7个低能态。这些状态根据它们的交换对称性分为两个多重态。一个强相互作用的维格纳分子的形成是显而易见的,从两个多重态之间测量的小能量分裂,这是淬火的数量级相比,非相互作用的值。我们能够在空间中调整双电子态,并研究电子和空穴的情况,这为基本的维格纳分子态提供了明确的证明。

英文摘要:

Coulomb interactions can have a decisive effect on the ground state of electronic systems. The simplest system in which interactions can play an interesting role is that of two electrons on a string. In the presence of strong interactions the two electrons are predicted to form a Wigner molecule, separating to the ends of the string due to their mutual repulsion. This spatial structure is believed to be clearly imprinted on the energy spectrum, yet to date a direct measurement of such a spectrum in a controllable one-dimensional setting is still missing. Here we use an ultra-clean suspended carbon nanotube to realize this system in a tunable potential. Using tunneling spectroscopy we measure the excitation spectra of two interacting carriers, electrons or holes, and identify seven low-energy states characterized by their spin and isospin quantum numbers. These states fall into two multiplets according to their exchange symmetries. The formation of a strongly-interacting Wigner molecule is evident from the small energy splitting measured between the two multiplets, that is quenched by an order of magnitude compared to the non-interacting value. Our ability to tune the two-electron state in space and to study it for both electrons and holes provides an unambiguous demonstration of the fundamental Wigner molecule state.
