摘要:

魔角扭曲双层石墨烯(tBLG)由于其丰富的碎相、相关的陈氏绝缘体、轨道磁性和超导电性而得到广泛的研究。特别是,在奇数填充因子($ν=1$和$3$)的少数tBLG设备中观察到的异常霍尔效应(AHE),表明自发破缺的时间反转对称性的零场轨道磁状态的出现。然而,由于竞争谷间相干态以及谷间洪德耦合所青睐的自旋极化和谷霍尔态,AHE通常在半填充($ν=2$)时不被预期。在这里,我们提出了两个tBLG设备的扭转角稍微远离魔角(0.96 $^{\circ}$和1.20 $^{\circ}$)的测量,其中我们报告的AHE在$ν=+2$和$-2$,分别令人惊讶的观察。这些研究结果意味着,谷极化阶段可以成为基态在半填充tBLG稍微远离魔角旋转。我们的研究结果揭示了一个意想不到的基态的出现在中间耦合制度($U/W \sim 1$,其中$U$是库仑排斥的强度和$W$是带宽),在强相关的绝缘体和弱相关的金属之间,突出需要制定一个更完整的理解tBLG远离强耦合的限制。

英文摘要:

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) has been studied extensively owing to its wealth of symmetry-broken phases, correlated Chern insulators, orbital magnetism, and superconductivity. In particular, the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been observed at odd integer filling factors ($ν=1$ and $3$) in a small number of tBLG devices, indicating the emergence of a zero-field orbital magnetic state with spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry. However, the AHE is typically not anticipated at half filling ($ν=2$) owing to competing intervalley coherent states, as well as spin-polarized and valley Hall states that are favored by an intervalley Hund's coupling. Here, we present measurements of two tBLG devices with twist angles slightly away from the magic angle (0.96$^{\circ}$ and 1.20$^{\circ}$), in which we report the surprising observation of the AHE at $ν=+2$ and $-2$, respectively. These findings imply that a valley-polarized phase can become the ground state at half filling in tBLG rotated slightly away from the magic angle. Our results reveal the emergence of an unexpected ground state in the intermediately-coupled regime ($U/W \sim 1$, where $U$ is the strength of Coulomb repulsion and $W$ is the bandwidth), in between the strongly-correlated insulator and weakly-correlated metal, highlighting the need to develop a more complete understanding of tBLG away from the strongly-coupled limit.
