Spin-Orbit Interactions in Transdimensional Heterostructures (Final Technical Report)

A summary of the theory development for the fundamental understanding of intrinsic electronic processes and interactions in transdimensional heterostructures. The transdimensional regime lays in between three (3D) and two (2D) dimensions. Current research has been largely focused on purely 2D or conventional 3D materials, being guided by a traditional view that only the dimensionality and the chemical composition are important to control the physical properties of quantum materials. The transitional, transdimensional regime has been largely overlooked. The theoretical and experimental results reported herewith fill in this gap by providing the missing aspects of the spin-orbit interaction theory and the associated magneto-optical response for ultrathin films of metals and semiconductors in the transdimensional regime.

Electrically controlled interlayer trion fluid in electron-hole bilayers

Here, the combination of repulsive and attractive Coulomb interactions in a quantum electron-hole (e-h) fluid can produce correlated phases of multiparticle charge complexes, such as excitons, trions, and biexcitons. We report an experimental realization of an electrically controlled interlayer trion fluid in van der Waals heterostructures. In strongly coupled e-h bilayers, electrons and holes spontaneously form three-particle trion bound states. The interlayer trions can assume 1e-2h and 2e-1h configurations. We show that the two holes in 1e-2h trions form a spin-singlet with a spin gap of approximately one milli–electron volt. By electrostatic gating, the equilibrium state can be continuously tuned into an exciton fluid, a trion fluid, an exciton-trion mixture, or a trion-charge mixture. Our work demonstrates a platform to study correlated phases of tunable Bose-Fermi mixtures.
