摘要:

几何形状,无论是在原子还是纳米尺度上,都是材料电子能带结构的关键因素。一些特定的几何形状产生了新的和潜在有用的电子带。例如,蜂窝晶格导致狄拉克型带,其中载流子表现为无质量粒子。理论预测引发了对新的2D几何结构的探索,如graphynes,Kagomé和Lieb晶格。后者是钙钛矿所表现出的3D晶格的2D类似物;它是方形耗尽晶格,其特征在于具有由拓扑平坦带包围的狄拉克锥的能带结构。尽管已经证明了光子和冷原子Lieb晶格,但在现有材料中难以实现2D中的电子等效。在这里,我们报告了一个电子Lieb晶格所形成的表面态电子的Cu(111)被限制在一个阵列的CO分子定位的扫描隧道显微镜(STM)。使用扫描隧道显微镜,光谱和波函数映射,我们确认预测的特征电子结构的Lieb晶格。实验结果证实了松饼罐和紧束缚计算。在更高的能量下,观察到二阶电子图案,其相当于超Lieb晶格。

英文摘要:

Geometry, whether on the atomic or nanoscale, is a key factor for the electronic band structure of materials. Some specific geometries give rise to novel and potentially useful electronic bands. For example, a honeycomb lattice leads to Dirac-type bands where the charge carriers behave as massless particles. Theoretical predictions are triggering the exploration of novel 2D geometries, such as graphynes, Kagomé and the Lieb lattice. The latter is the 2D analogue of the 3D lattice exhibited by perovskites; it is a square-depleted lattice, which is characterised by a band structure featuring Dirac cones intersected by a topological flat band. Whereas photonic and cold-atom Lieb lattices have been demonstrated, an electronic equivalent in 2D is difficult to realize in an existing material. Here, we report an electronic Lieb lattice formed by the surface state electrons of Cu(111) confined by an array of CO molecules positioned with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Using scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy and wave-function mapping, we confirm the predicted characteristic electronic structure of the Lieb lattice. The experimental findings are corroborated by muffin-tin and tight-binding calculations. At higher energy, second-order electronic patterns are observed, which are equivalent to a super-Lieb lattice.
