Direct imaging of topological edge states at a bilayer graphene domain wall

Abstract

The AB-BA domain wall in gapped graphene bilayers is a rare naked structure hosting topological electronic states. Here we show, for the first time, direct imaging of its topological edge states by using scanning tunneling microscope. The simultaneously obtained atomic-resolution images of the domain wall provide us unprecedented opportunities to measure the spatially-varying edge states within it. The one-dimensional conducting channels are observed to be mainly located around the two edges of the domain wall, which is reproduced quite well by our theoretical calculations. Our experiment further demonstrates that the one-dimensional topological states are quite robust even in the presence of high magnetic fields.
