报告简介：

Over the past half-century, exciton insulators have been observed in various experimental systems, predominantly through indirect spectroscopic studies. However, there is a notable lack of studies on the electrical transport and gate-tuning of this correlated insulator. The main reason for this limitation is the difficulty in controlling the strength of electron correlations in semi-metallic systems (or narrow bandgap semiconductors) near charge neutrality.

In this talk, we show that by bringing Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) into contact with a few-layered insulator CrOCl, the resulted vertical heterostructures can give rise to an extraordinarily robust ground state of insulator at the charge neutrality [1]. This emerged band-gap is of quantum origin, and can be controlled by in-plane electric fields, vertical electric fields, temperature, and carrier density.

Based on this correlated insulating state, both N-type and P-type transistors are achieved. Further, CMOS-like semiconducting BLG logic inverter with a gain of approximately 1.2 (yet to be improved) at a temperature of 1.5 K at an input voltage of 0.2 V can be realized. This could be a crucial step forward for future carbon computing.

Unlike the conventional approaches based on intrinsic band gaps and doping principles in silicon-based semiconductors and two-dimensional semiconductors, the route of quantum-origin correlated gapped state employed in this study breaks new ground. It constructs long-range charge order at the interface by utilizing interface coupling and then leverages the interface states to influence electronic correlations in graphene. This coupling mechanism represents a universal control method and holds the potential for discovering intriguing physical phenomena in a broader range of two-dimensional electron systems [2].
