Layer-selective spin-orbit coupling and strong correlation in bilayer graphene (2403.17140v1)

Published 25 Mar 2024 in cond-mat.mes-hall

Abstract: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron interaction can mutually influence each other and give rise to a plethora of intriguing phenomena in condensed matter systems. In pristine bilayer graphene, which has weak SOC, intrinsic Lifshitz transitions and concomitant van-Hove singularities lead to the emergence of many-body correlated phases. Layer-selective SOC can be proximity induced by adding a layer of tungsten diselenide (WSe2) on its one side. By applying an electric displacement field, the system can be tuned across a spectrum wherein electronic correlation, SOC, or a combination of both dominates. Our investigations reveal an intricate phase diagram of proximity-induced SOC-selective bilayer graphene. Not only does this phase diagram include those correlated phases reminiscent of SOC-free doped bilayer graphene, but it also hosts unique SOC-induced states allowing a compelling measurement of valley g-factor and a seemingly impossible correlated insulator at charge neutrality, thereby showcasing the remarkable tunability of the interplay between interaction and SOC in WSe2 enriched bilayer graphene.
