Controlling many-body states by the electric-field effect in a two-dimensional material

Abstract

To understand complex physics of a system with strong electron electron interactions, it is ideal to control and monitor its properties while tuning an external electric field applied to the system. Indeed, complete electric field control of many body states in strongly correlated electron systems is fundamental to the next generation of condensed matter research and devices. However, the material must be thin enough to avoid shielding of the electric field in bulk material. Two-dimensional materials do not experience electrical screening, and their charge carrier density can be controlled by gating. 1T TiSe2 is a prototypical 2D material that shows charge density wave(CDW) and superconductivity in its phase diagram, presenting several similarities with other layered systems such as copper oxides, iron pnictides, crystals of rare-earth and actinide atoms. By studying 1T TiSe2 single crystals with thicknesses of 10 nm or less, encapsulated in 2D layers of hexagonal boron nitride, we achieve unprecedented control over the CDW transition temperature, tuned from 170 K to 40 K, and over the superconductivity transition temperature, tuned from a quantum critical point at 0 K up to 3 K. Electrically driving TiSe2 over different ordered electronic phases allows us to study the details of the phase transitions between many-body states. Observations of periodic oscillations of magnetoresistance induced by the Little Parks effect show that the appearance of superconductivity is directly correlated to the spatial texturing of the amplitude and phase of the superconductivity order parameter, corresponding to a 2D matrix of superconductivity. We infer that this superconductivity matrix is supported by a matrix of incommensurate CDW states embedded in the commensurate CDW states. Our results show that spatially modulated electronic states are fundamental to the appearance of 2D superconductivity.
