Observation of Ferromagnetic Phase in the Second Moiré Band of Twisted MoTe2
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Flat bands and electron correlation in moiré lattices give rise to many
exotic phases, including Mott insulators, superconductivity, and topological
states. Within the first moiré band, integer and fractional quantum anomalous
Hall effects have been observed in twisted bilayer MoTe2 (tMoTe2) at one hole
doping and fractional doping per moiré unit cell, respectively. When the
second moiré band is fully hole doped, quantum spin Hall insulator has also
been reported in tMoTe2 at a certain twist angle. Exotic topological states
together with ferromagnetic (FM) states in the high moiré band can
potentially exist as well. In this study, we report the observation of a FM
phase in the second moiré band in tMoTe2. The FM phase can be tuned by both
the doping level and displacement field. At filling around 2.58 holes per
moiré unit cell, the FM phase reaches a Curie temperature of 3.5 K. A large
displacement field can suppress the FM phase, like the FM phase at the filling
of -1. Our results demonstrate the realization of time-reversal
symmetry-breaking states in the higher moiré bands in tMoTe2.
