摘要:

对称性破缺是凝聚态物理中的一个基本概念,它的出现往往预示着物质的新相态。例如,时间反演对称性的破坏传统上与材料中的磁相有关,而规范对称性的破坏可以导致超流性/超导性。向列相是其中旋转对称性被破坏同时保持平移对称性的相,并且传统上与液晶相关联。在Sr $_3$ Ru $_2$ O $_7$、多种铁基超导体和CuBiSe的超导态中发现了其中正交面内晶体方向具有不同电子性质的电子双稳态之后,它们引起了大量的关注。本文证明了在(111)LaAlO $_3$(LAO)/SrTiO $_3$(STO)界面处形成的二维载气中存在电子向心性,该电子向心性在低温下开始,并可通过电场调节。

英文摘要:

Symmetry breaking is a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics whose presence often heralds new phases of matter. For instance, the breaking of time reversal symmetry is traditionally linked to magnetic phases in a material, while the breaking of gauge symmetry can lead to superfluidity/superconductivity. Nematic phases are phases in which rotational symmetry is broken while maintaining translational symme- try, and are traditionally associated with liquid crystals. Electronic nematic states where the or- thogonal in-plane crystal directions have different electronic properties have garnered a great deal of attention after their discovery in Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, multiple iron based superconductors, and in the superconducting state of CuBiSe. Here we demonstrate the existence of an electronic ne- matic phase in the two-dimensional carrier gas that forms at the (111) LaAlO$_3$ (LAO)/SrTiO$_3$ (STO) interface that onsets at low temperatures, and is tunable by an electric field.
