Valley-Polarized quantum Hall phase in a strain-controlled Dirac system
arXiv:2401.02159 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.166601
Abstract
In multivalley systems, the valley pseudospin offers rich physics going from encoding of information by its polarization (valleytronics), to exploring novel phases of matter when its degeneracy is changed. Here, by strain engineering, we reveal fully valley-polarized quantum Hall (QH) phases in the Pb1-xSnxSe Dirac system. Remarkably, when the valley energy splitting exceeds the fundamental band gap, we observe a bipolar QH phase, heralded by the coexistence of hole and electron chiral edge states at distinct valleys in the same quantum well. This suggests that spatially overlaid counter-propagating chiral edge states emerging at different valleys do not interfere with each other.
