1. 三维量子材料电子、光学信息的光谱研究
(1)双极型铜氧化物高温超导量子材料
理论认为,铜基超导机制跟其绝缘态电子描述有关,其描述有两竞争学派——强耦合作用占主导的(Mott-RVB)共振价键理论;弱耦合作用占主导的(Spin-Fluctuation)自旋涨落理论。
本研究采用新光谱技术,在双极型铜氧化物中,不但发现因弱耦合作用而导致的磁性Mid-Gap,并观测到其共存着支持强耦合理论的Mott-Gap。且发现弱耦合作用强度和强耦合作用强度随着p或n掺杂展现不同演变规律。
共存态的发现为建立两种竞争理论之间的联系提供了实验依据,揭示了高温超导电子结构在p和n型掺杂之间的不对称性,有望为揭示赝能隙和超导态的机制提供线索。
成果发表于Physical Review Letters 116,197002,2016和ACS Photonics 6,3281,2019。
(2)超薄铜氧化物高温超导量子材料薄膜
本研究采用新光谱技术,发现当超薄LSCO长在SrTiO3基底上时,薄膜中出现新电荷局域化,形成Mid-Gap,并伴随等离激元和高能激子激发。揭示了界面轨道耦合可调控超导薄膜中电荷局域化及电子关联强度,从而产生新准粒子激发。
此发现为高温超导中电子结构的调控提供了新理论模型,并为探索高温超导潜在机制提供线索。

2. 二维量子材料电子、光学信息的光谱研究
(1)二维新能隙与量子相变
设计一种在金衬底上对二维材料MoS2进行加热退火的简便方法,成功诱导半导体相1H-准金属相1T’的相变。
采用新光谱技术,发现1T’相费米面附近的能带倒置,形成Fundamental Gap和Inverted Gap。揭示了Inverted Gap是由强电声耦合所导致,由此可调控其大小;描述了其相变机制。
该结果揭示了强电声耦合作用对低维量子相变及其电子结构调控的重要意义。
成果发表于Nature Communications 8,486,2017。
(2)二维界面效应
发现将更低势垒的二维材料转移到更高活性的金属上并加热退火可显著提高1T’相变转化率。采用新光谱技术,揭示了二维材料与金属的界面作用演变过程及1H-1T’相变机制,解释了转化率提高的原理。
该结果不仅可作为二维材料在金属基底上受控生长的模型系统,也为低维量子相变与界面效应的关系提供新见解。

成果发表于Advanced Science 6,1900446,2019。
通过改变二维材料的厚度、温度及元素等条件,利用光谱学可探测到不同强度的自旋-轨道耦合。我们在二维WSe2中发现具有三维特性的高能激子。这是因为单层WSe2具有合适强度的自旋-轨道耦合,使得高能激子的激发得到增强。证明了自旋-轨道耦合强度跟高能激子激发能的关系。
成果发表于ACS Nano 13,14529,2019。
