AI总结:

本研究利用两个耦合圆形石墨烯量子点构建出相对论人工分子,通过STM和STS观测并可视化其成键与反键态,揭示了相对论特性下外磁场可解除角动量态简并并使分子态分裂的现象,拓展了人工分子的研究范畴。

摘要:

耦合量子点(QDs)通常被称为人工分子,不仅在探索耦合量子体系的基础物理学方面具有重要意义,还可用于实现先进的量子点器件。但此前的研究仅局限于包含非相对论费米子的人工分子。本研究表明,当两个圆形石墨烯量子点相互耦合时,可实现相对论人工分子。我们利用扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和扫描隧道谱(STS),观测到该相对论人工分子的成键态与反键态的形成,并直接可视化了这两个耦合石墨烯量子点的上述态。相对论分子态的形成显著改变了限制在石墨烯量子点内的无质量狄拉克费米子的分布。实验证实,由于分子态的相对论特性,相对论人工分子中不同角动量态的简并度可被外磁场进一步解除,此时成键态与反键态均会分裂为两个峰。

英文摘要:

Coupled quantum dots (QDs), usually referred to as artificial molecules, are important not only in exploring fundamental physics of coupled quantum objects, but also in realizing advanced QD devices. However, previous studies have been limited to artificial molecules with nonrelativistic fermions. Here, we show that relativistic artificial molecules can be realized when two circular graphene QDs are coupled to each other. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS), we observe the formation of bonding and antibonding states of the relativistic artificial molecule and directly visualize these states of the two coupled graphene QDs. The formation of the relativistic molecular states strongly alters distributions of massless Dirac fermions confined in the graphene QDs. Because of the relativistic nature of the molecular states, our experiment demonstrates that the degeneracy of different angular-momentum states in the relativistic artificial molecule can be further lifted by external magnetic fields. Then, both the bonding and antibonding states are split into two peaks.
