Universal renormalization group flow toward perfect Fermi-surface nesting driven by enhanced electron-electron correlations in monolayer vanadium diselenide
摘要： Reducing the thickness of three-dimensional samples on appropriate substrates is a promising way to control electron-electron interactions, responsible for so called electronic reconstruction phenomena. Although the electronic reconstruction has been investigated both extensively and intensively in oxide heterostructure interfaces, this paradigm is not well established in the van der Waals heterointerface system. In the present study, we examine the nature of a charge ordering transition in monolayer vanadium diselenide (VSe2). This two-dimensional phase transition would be distinguished from that of VSe2 bulk samples, driven by more enhanced electron-electron correlations. We recall that VSe2 bulk samples show a charge-density-wave (CDW) transition around TCDW ～ 105 K. This bulk phase transition results from Fermi-surface nesting properties, where the low-temperature CDW state coexists with itinerant electrons of residual Fermi surfaces. Recently, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements [Nano Lett. 18, 5432 (2018)] uncovered that the Fermi-surface nesting becomes perfect, where the dynamics of hot electrons is dispersionless along the orthogonal direction of the nesting wave vector. In addition, scanning tunneling microscopy measurements [Nano Lett. 18, 5432 (2018)] confirmed that the resulting CDW state shows essentially the same modulation pattern as the three-dimensional system of VSe2. Here, we perform the renormalization group analysis based on an effective-field theory in terms of critical CDW fluctuations and hot electrons of imperfect Fermi-surface nesting. As a result, we reveal that the imperfect nesting universally flows into perfect nesting in two dimensions, where the Fermi velocity along the orthogonal direction of the nesting vector vanishes generically. We argue that this electronic reconstruction is responsible for the observation [Nano Lett. 18, 5432 (2018).] that the CDW transition temperature is much more enhanced to be around TCDW ～ 350 K than that of the bulk sample.

Electric-Field Control of Dirac Two-Dimensional Electron Gas in PbTe/CdTe Heterostructures
摘要： Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) confined to quantum wells trigger rich emergent phenomena and serve as a host for high-speed electronics. 2DEG in PbTe/CdTe heterostructure was predicted to be Dirac electrons and confirmed by recent experiments. Here, we demonstrate the manipulation of electrical transport properties of this 2DEG with extremely high mobility and unique electron structure by ionic liquid-gating. The extreme capacitance of carrier modulation enables to tune the band structure. With a change of the gate voltage, the Fermi level moves to the conduction band and crosses the Dirac Point, leading to the shift of quantum oscillation. Our results may offer new insight toward electronic application with on-demand properties.

Nonequilibrium Magnetic Oscillation with Cylindrical Vector Beams
摘要： Magnetic oscillation is a generic property of electronic conductors under magnetic fields and widely appreciated as a useful probe of their electronic band structure, i.e. the Fermi surface geometry. However, the usage of the strong static magnetic field makes the measurement insensitive to the magnetic order of the target material. That is, the magnetic order is anyhow turned into a forced ferromagnetic one. Here we theoretically propose an experimental method of measuring the magnetic oscillation in a magnetic-order-resolved way by using the azimuthal cylindrical vector (CV) beam, an example of topological lightwaves. The azimuthal CV beam is unique in that, when focused tightly, it develops a pure longitudinal magnetic field. We argue that this characteristic focusing property and the discrepancy in the relaxation timescale between conduction electrons and localized magnetic moments allow us to develop the nonequilibrium analogue of the magnetic oscillation measurement. Our optical method would be also applicable to metals under the ultra-high pressure of diamond anvil cells.

revealed by spatially and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
摘要： Nematicity, where rotational symmetry is broken while translational symmetry is conserved, is prevalent in high-temperature superconductors. In particular, nematic quantum critical point has been universally found near the optimum doping of the superconducting dome of several iron-based superconductor families. In such a regime, evidence for strong nematic ?uctuations have been observed. As the precursor to this order, nematic ?uctuations emerge before nematicity, providing favorable ground to study how nematic order modi?es the electronic structure in the absence of structural distortion. Here we use spatially resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the correlation between the onset of nematic ?uctuations and electronic structure in an optimally doped BaFe2(As1?xPx )2 (x ～ 0.3) superconductor. We reveal a strong spatially varying anisotropy of the Fermi surface on a length scale of tens of microns with strong correlation between the changes in the hole and electron Fermi pockets, consistent with the variations expected in the presence of ?uctuating nematic order. These results provide direct evidence for spatial nematic ?uctuations in the optimal doping regime of iron-based superconductors.

Self-assembled Ag(111) nanostructures induced by Fermi surface nesting
摘要： Scanning tunneling microscopy measurements on Ag(111)/MoS2 reveal atomically ?at preferred, or “magic,” heights occurring at 6, 10, and 14 atomic layers. These results are consistent with Ag growth on a variety of semiconducting substrates and correlate with electronic energy savings in electronic structure calculations of freestanding Ag(111) ?lms. Thus, under certain conditions, Ag will spontaneously form quantized structures independent of the substrate. To explain this, we have found Fermi surface nesting vectors in the bulk Ag band structure which account for these results and the fact Ag that is gapped along the surface normal. This model extends to a range of metallic systems which exhibit electronic con?nement, epitaxial growth, and minimal strain. As with Au/MoS2, the Ag/MoS2 system exhibits this behavior at unusually high temperatures so that these principles might be used for control over device features at the nanometer scale under standard fabrication conditions.

Interplay of structure and charge order revealed by quantum oscillations in thin films of
摘要： The discovery of quantum oscillations in hole- and electron-doped cuprate families has underscored the importance of the Fermi surface in cuprate superconductivity. While the observed quantum oscillations in both families have revealed the presence of reconstructed Fermi surfaces, there remains an important distinction between the two. In hole-doped cuprates the oscillations are thought to arise from the effects of a charge density wave, while in the electron-doped cuprates it is thought that these oscillations occur from an antiferromagnetically reconstructed Fermi surface, despite the fact that the oscillations are observed in overdoped compounds, far from the putative antiferromagnetic critical point. In this work we study thin films of Pr2CuO4±δ, whose apparent doping can be finely tuned by annealing, allowing studies of quantum oscillations in samples straddling the critical point. We show that even though there is a mass enhancement of the quasiparticles, there are only small changes to the Fermi surface itself, suggesting that charge order is a more likely origin, with electronic correlations that are strongly dependent on the structural parameters.
