论文摘要
理论预测,蜂窝状晶格中的平面PX,PY轨道会导致新的且潜在的量子电子相。到目前为止,仅在光学晶格中的冷原子以及光子晶体中的光和激子 - 摩尔子中实现了p轨道带。对于电子而言,由于天然电子蜂窝晶格(例如石墨烯和硅)表现出强烈的S-P杂交,因此很难进入平面p轨道物理。在这里,我们报告了在扫描隧道显微镜中在Cu(111)表面上制备的电子蜂窝状晶格,通过设计,该图显示(几乎)(几乎)纯轨道带,包括P轨道平坦带和Dirac锥。
Theory anticipates that the in-plane px, py orbitals in a honeycomb lattice lead to new and potentially useful quantum electronic phases. So far, p orbital bands were only realized for cold atoms in optical lattices and for light and exciton-polaritons in photonic crystals. For electrons, in-plane p orbital physics is difficult to access since natural electronic honeycomb lattices, such as graphene and silicene, show strong s-p hybridization. Here, we report on electronic honeycomb lattices prepared on a Cu(111) surface in a scanning tunneling microscope that, by design, show (nearly) pure orbital bands, including the p orbital flat band and Dirac cone.
