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…

Anyon superfluidity of excitons in quantum Hall bilayers

Zhaoyu Han, Taige Wang, Zhihuan Dong +2

The charged anyons of a fractional quantum Hall fluid are necessarily dispersionless due to the continuous magnetic translation symmetry. Neutral anyons, however, can disperse, res…

Self-doped Crystal from Preempted Band-inversion Transitions

Jiechao Feng, Zhaoyu Han, Michael P. Zaletel +1

Recent experiments in rhombohedral graphene find evidence for a "self-doped" Wigner crystal (SDC) in which a slightly incommensurate Wigner crystal (WC) coexists with a small Fermi…

Imaging Electron-Hole Asymmetry in the Quantum Melting of Generalized Wigner Crystals

Emma Berger, Michael Arumainayagam, Zhihuan Dong +12

Two-dimensional moiré materials provide a versatile platform to explore phase transitions in strongly correlated systems. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) we have imaged…

Theory of quantum anomalous Hall phases in pentalayer rhombohedral graphene moiré structures

Zhihuan Dong, Adarsh S. Patri, T. Senthil

Remarkable recent experiments on the moiré structure formed by pentalayer rhombohedral graphene aligned with a hexagonal Boron-Nitride substrate report the discovery of a zero fie…

Extended quantum anomalous Hall effect in moiré structures: phase transitions and transport

Adarsh S. Patri, Zhihuan Dong, T. Senthil

Recent experiments on multilayer rhombohedral graphene have unearthed a number of interesting phenomena in the regime where Integer and Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall phenomena…
