报告介绍 | Abstract:
The advent of a new class of 2D Dirac materials, among which graphene is a paradigmatic example, has opened up a new frontier in materials research. Their reduced dimensionality makes these systems especially susceptible to electron-electron interactions and their simple stoichiometry makes them ideal platforms to explore in detail the complex role of many-body effects in configuring ordered phases. In this presentation I will use the example of single and few layers graphene to illustrate the role of short vs long-range electron-electron interactions in defining the ground-state properties in Dirac materials, where (layer/valley/spin) pseudospin order and band gap enhancements can take place. Whereas short-range interactions that favor antiferromagnetic spin order can explain a number of experimental observations in zero and finite field Hall measurements, the non-locality of long-ranged interactions can lead to a competition between ground-states exhibiting spontaneous orbital moments that should be tunable through external system parameters and distinguished through transport and spectroscopy measurements.
