Nanoscale Conductivity Imaging of Correlated Electronic States in WSe_{2}/WS_{2} Moiré Superlattices.
Physical review letters(2020)
Abstract
We report the nanoscale conductivity imaging of correlated electronic states in angle-aligned WSe2/WS2 heterostructures using microwave impedance microscopy. The noncontact microwave probe allows us to observe the Mott insulating state with one hole per moire unit cell that persists for temperatures up to 150 K, consistent with other characterization techniques. In addition, we identify for the first time a Mott insulating state at one electron per moire unit cell. Appreciable inhomogeneity of the correlated states is directly visualized in the heterobilayer region, indicative of local disorders in the moire superlattice potential or electrostatic doping. Our work provides important insights on 2D moire systems down to the microscopic level.
