摘要:

激子绝缘体(EI)是激子在固体中通过电子-空穴相互作用而形成的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚(BEC),可以支持高温BEC转变。EI的物质实现一直难以捉摸,这是进一步的挑战,从传统的电荷密度波(CDW)状态区分它的困难。在BEC极限下,预凝聚激子气相是区分EI与常规CDW的标志,但一直缺乏直接的实验证据。在这里,我们报告了一个明显的相关相超越$2\times2$ CDW基态出现在外延生长的单层1 T-ZrTe 2和它的调查,角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)和扫描隧道显微镜(STM)。结果表明,新的能带和能量依赖的折叠行为在两个步骤的过程中,证明了激子气相之前,其冷凝成最终的CDW状态。实验和理论预测之间的良好协议的原始能带结构的CDW状态的载流子密度相关的抑制恢复进一步证实了单层1 T-ZrTe 2作为EI。我们的研究结果提供了一个通用的二维平台,允许调谐的激子效应。

英文摘要:

The excitonic insulator (EI) is a Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of excitons bound by electron-hole interaction in a solid, which could support high-temperature BEC transition. The material realization of EI has been elusive, which is further challenged by the difficulty of distinguishing it from a conventional charge density wave (CDW) state. In the BEC limit, the pre-condensation exciton gas phase is a hallmark to distinguish EI from conventional CDW, yet direct experimental evidence has been lacking. Here we report a distinct correlated phase beyond the $2\times2$ CDW ground state emerging in epitaxially grown monolayer 1T-ZrTe2 and its investigation by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The results show novel band- and energy-dependent folding behavior in a two-step process, evidenced by an exciton gas phase prior to its condensation into the final CDW state. The excellent agreement between experiments and theoretical predictions on the recovery of the pristine band structure by carrier-density-dependent suppression of the CDW state further corroborates the monolayer 1T-ZrTe2 as an EI. Our findings provide a versatile two-dimensional platform that allows tuning of the excitonic effect.
