摘要:

最近在三层菱面体石墨烯(RG)中发现超导性和磁性,为研究强关联电子现象建立了一个理想的、无扭转的平台。然而,多层RG中的关联效应受到的关注有限,特别是关联随层数增加的演化仍然是一个未解决的问题。在这里,我们展示了通过使用扫描隧道显微镜和光谱学,在令人惊讶的液氮温度下,对3到9层的RG多层中观察到的层依赖电子结构和关联。我们明确测定了层增强的低能平带和层间耦合强度。前者直接证明了在较厚的RG中低能带的进一步平坦化,而后者表明在多层RG中存在变化的层间相互作用。此外,我们发现在77 K下,当平带被部分填充时,出现了显著的平带分裂,范围约为50-80 meV,表明出现了相互作用诱导的强关联态。特别是,关联态的强度在较厚的RG中显著增强,并在六层中达到最大,直接验证了理论预测,并为强关联系统建立了丰富的新候选者。我们的结果为RG中电子性质的层依赖性提供了有价值的见解,并证明其是研究鲁棒且高度可及的关联相的合适系统。

英文摘要:

The recent discovery of superconductivity and magnetism in trilayer rhombohedral graphene (RG) establishes an ideal, untwisted platform to study strong correlation electronic phenomena. However, the correlated effects in multilayer RG have received limited attention, and, particularly, the evolution of the correlations with increasing layer number remains an unresolved question. Here, we show the observation of layer-dependent electronic structures and correlations, under surprising liquid nitrogen temperature, in RG multilayers from 3 to 9 layers by using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We explicitly determine layer-enhanced low-energy flat bands and interlayer coupling strengths. The former directly demonstrates the further flattening of low-energy bands in thicker RG, and the latter indicates the presence of varying interlayer interactions in RG multilayers. Moreover, we find significant splittings of the flat bands, ranging from ~50-80 meV, at 77 K when they are partially filled, indicating the emergence of interaction-induced strongly correlated states. Particularly, the strength of the correlated states is notably enhanced in thicker RG and reaches its maximum in the six-layer, validating directly theoretical predictions and establishing abundant new candidates for strongly correlated systems. Our results provide valuable insights into the layer dependence of the electronic properties in RG and demonstrate it as a suitable system for investigating robust and highly accessible correlated phases.
