Imaging Interacting Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Electrons
Ziyu Xiang, Jianghan Xiao, Hongyuan Li +9
We directly visualize a two-dimensional anisotropic Wigner crystal and its quantum melting in monolayer 1T-ReSe2 using non-invasive scanning tunnelling microscopy. In crystals with…

Observation of an exciton crystal in a moiré excitonic insulator
Ruishi Qi, Qize Li, Haleem Kim +9
Strong Coulomb interactions can drive electrons to crystallize into a Wigner lattice. Achieving the bosonic analogue - a crystal of excitons - has remained elusive due to their sho…

Visualizing the Impact of Quenched Disorder on 2D Electron Wigner Solids
Zhehao Ge, Conor Smith, Zehao He +17
Electron Wigner solids (WSs)1-12 provide an ideal system for understanding the competing effects of electron-electron and electron-disorder interactions, a central unsolved problem…
