通过热电功率探测魔角异质双层石墨烯中新兴局域磁矩的强相关性特征

摘要:

最近对魔角异质双层石墨烯(MATBLG)的实验研究揭示了平带的形成,表明相关效应可能在该系统中占主导地位。然而,缺少一种全球传输测量,能够显示强相关性特征,如来自平带的局域磁矩的明显迹象。利用热电功率作为测量熵的敏感全球传输探针,我们揭示了通过其对熵的影响而出现的新兴局域磁矩。值得注意的是,除了在狄拉克点(ν=0)和完全带填充(ν=±4)处的符号变化外,MATBLG的热电功率在ν_cross≈±1处还表现出额外的符号变化,且从5K到约60K的温度范围内不随温度变化。这与我们在弱相关性异质双层石墨烯器件研究中观察到的对温度敏感的交叉点形成对比。进一步地,我们研究了磁场(B)对热电功率的影响,包括B∥和B⊥。我们的结果表明,分别减少了30%和50%,这与层状氧化物中由于自旋熵部分极化而观察到的抑制一致。观察到的稳健交叉点,加上磁场下的抑制,无法仅由带费米子的贡献来解释;相反,我们的数据与强相关平带中新兴局域磁矩熵的主导贡献一致。

英文摘要:

Recent experiments on magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBLG) have revealed the formation of flatbands, suggesting that correlation effects are likely to dominate in this system. Yet, a global transport measurement showing distinct signatures of strong correlations like local moments arising from the flatbands is missing. Utilizing thermopower as a sensitive global transport probe for measuring entropy, we unveil the presence of emergent local moments through their impact on entropy. Remarkably, in addition to sign changes at the Dirac point ($ν= 0$) and full band filling ($ν= \pm 4$), the thermopower of MATBLG demonstrates additional sign changes at the location, $ν_{cross} \sim \pm 1$, which do not vary with temperature from $5K$ to $\sim 60K$. This is in contrast to sensitive temperature-dependent crossing points seen in our study on twisted bilayer graphene devices with weaker correlations. Further, we have investigated the effect of magnetic field ($B$) on the thermopower, both $B_{\parallel}$ and $B_{\perp}$. Our results show a $30\%$ and $50\%$ reduction, respectively, that is consistent with suppression seen in the layered oxide due to the partial polarization of the spin entropy. The observed robust crossing points, together with suppression in a magnetic field, cannot be explained solely from the contributions of band fermions; instead, our data is consistent with the dominant contribution arising from the entropy of the emergent localized moments of a strongly correlated flatband.
