摘要:

由六方晶体衬底上的石墨烯的莫尔超晶格诱导的磁性迷你带(霍夫斯塔德蝴蝶)的分形谱已知表现出带隙的狄拉克锥。我们发现,间隙可以通过稍微错位的基板,产生一个层次的锥形奇点(狄拉克点)的能带结构在合理的值Phi =(p/q)(h/e)的磁通量每个超晶胞。每个狄拉克点都表示量子霍尔相图连通分量中拓扑量子数的转换。模型计算揭示了尺度不变的电导率σ = 2qe^2 / pi h,以及在这些连通性开关处与无质量狄拉克费米子相关的克莱因隧穿。

英文摘要:

The fractal spectrum of magnetic minibands (Hofstadter butterfly), induced by the moiré super- lattice of graphene on an hexagonal crystal substrate, is known to exhibit gapped Dirac cones. We show that the gap can be closed by slightly misaligning the substrate, producing a hierarchy of conical singularities (Dirac points) in the band structure at rational values Phi = (p/q)(h/e) of the magnetic flux per supercell. Each Dirac point signals a switch of the topological quantum number in the connected component of the quantum Hall phase diagram. Model calculations reveal the scale invariant conductivity sigma = 2qe^2 / pi h and Klein tunneling associated with massless Dirac fermions at these connectivity switches.
