Implementation of the bilayer Hubbard model in a moiré heterostructure
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Moiré materials provide a unique platform for studies of correlated
many-body physics of the Fermi-Hubbard model on triangular spin-charge
lattices. Bilayer Hubbard models are of particular significance with regard to
the physics of Mott insulating states and their relation to unconventional
superconductivity, yet their experimental implementation in moiré systems has
so far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate the realization of a staggered
bilayer triangular lattice of electrons in an antiparallel MoSe_2/WS_2
heterostructure. The bilayer lattice emerges due to strong electron confinement
in the moiré potential minima and the near-resonant alignment of conduction
band edges in MoSe_2 and WS_2. As a result, charge filling proceeds
layer-by-layer, with the first and second electron per moiré cell
consecutively occupying first the MoSe_2 and then the WS_2 layer. We
describe the observed charging sequence by an electrostatic model and provide
experimental evidence of spin correlations on the vertically offset and
laterally staggered bilayer lattice, yielding absolute exciton Landé factors
as high as 600 at lowest temperatures. The bilayer character of the
implemented spin-charge lattice allows for electrostatic tunability of
Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida magnetism, and establishes antiparallel
MoSe_2/WS_2 heterostructures as a viable platform for studies of
bilayer Hubbard model physics with exotic magnetic phases on frustrated
lattices.
