摘要:

多层石墨烯异质结构的低温相图在很大程度上由交换驱动的不稳定性定义,该不稳定性提升了四重同位旋简并性。这种不稳定性导致了四分之一和半金属相,这是我们理解其他涌现现象的关键。最近的理论工作揭示了一种新型的库仑驱动不稳定性。提出了三角弯曲诱导的费米口袋之间的交换相互作用可以诱导载流子凝聚到其中一个费米口袋中,从而在动量空间中产生净极化。在这里,我们报告的观察自发的动量极化Bernal双层石墨烯使用角分辨非线性输运测量在二次谐波频率。具有良好的角度精度,我们表明,极轴的动量极化是可调的不同的载流子密度,电场,和磁场。动量-空间不稳定性的主要影响揭示了对称性破缺与半金属相和四分之一金属相的同位旋简并度提升之间的自然联系。

英文摘要:

The low-temperature phase diagram of multilayer graphene heterostructures is largely defined by the exchange-driven instability that lifts the four-fold isospin degeneracy. Such instability gives rise to the quarter- and half-metal phases, which are key to our understanding of other emergent phenomena. Recent theoretical works shed light on a new type of Coulomb-driven instability. It is proposed that the exchange interaction between trigonal-warping-induced Fermi pockets could induce charge carriers to condense into one of the Fermi pockets, giving rise to a net polarization in the momentum space. Here, we report the observation of spontaneous momentum polarization in Bernal bilayer graphene using angle-resolved nonlinear transport measurement at the second-harmonic frequency. With excellent angular precision, we show that the polar axis of the momentum polarization is tunable with varying carrier density, electric field, and magnetic field. The dominating influence of the momentum-space instability reveals a natural connection between broken symmetries, and the isospin degeneracy lifting in the half- and quarter-metal phases.
