摘要:

近期在莫尔分数陈绝缘体中观测到的分数量子反常霍尔效应,为研究零磁场下的任意子提供了契机。若要潜在实现非阿贝尔任意子,一种思路是构建可模拟更高朗道能级的更高陈数平带。本文研究了双层转角MoTe₂中第二条莫尔微带的相互作用、拓扑性质与铁磁性。在第二条微带半填充时,我们观测到自发铁磁性以及初始阶段的陈绝缘体态。当转角大于3.1°时,顶部两条莫尔平带的陈数符号相反;而在转角接近2.6°时,二者陈数符号相同,这与理论预测一致。在2.6°的器件中,增强磁场会通过相反能谷之间的带交叉引发拓扑相变,产生陈数C = -2的新兴态。此外,第二条能谷极化带半填充时的绝缘态表明,电荷有序态比分数陈绝缘体态更易稳定存在。这些发现为理解更高陈数平带奠定了基础,对发现非阿贝尔分数陈绝缘体至关重要。

英文摘要:

The recent observation of the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect in moiré fractional Chern insulators provides an opportunity to investigate zero magnetic field anyons. To potentially realize non-Abelian anyons, one approach is to engineer higher flat Chern bands that mimic higher Landau levels. Here, we investigate the interaction, topology, and ferromagnetism of the second moiré miniband in twisted MoTe2 bilayers. At half filling of the second miniband, we observe spontaneous ferromagnetism and an incipient Chern insulator state. The Chern numbers of the top two moiré flat bands exhibit opposite signs for twist angles above 3.1°, but share the same sign near 2.6°, consistent with theoretical predictions. In the 2.6° device, increasing magnetic field induces a topological phase transition via band crossing between opposite valleys, resulting in an emergent state with Chern number C = -2. Additionally, an insulating state at half filling of the second valley-polarized band suggests a charge-ordered state is favored over the fractional Chern insulator state. These findings lay a foundation for understanding the higher flat Chern bands, crucial for the discovery of non-Abelian fractional Chern insulators.
