چکیده
Flat bands emerging in buckled monolayer graphene superlattices have been recently shown to realize correlated states analogous those observed twisted multilayers. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of valley topology driven by competing electronic correlations superlattices. We show, both means atomistic models and a low-energy description, that existence long-range leads competition between antiferromagnetic charge density wave instabilities, can be controlled screening engineering. Interestingly, find emergent has topologically non-trivial structure, leading coexistent quantum Hall insulating state. In similar fashion, phase realizes spin-polarized valley-Hall Our results put forward as new platform interaction-induced topological matter.

Charge-transfer-induced cesium superlattices on graphene.
We investigate cesium (Cs) adsorption on graphene formed on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study. Individual Cs atoms adsorb preferentially at the rim region of the well-defined 6×6 substrate superstructure and on multilayer graphene. By finely controlling the graphene thickness and Cs coverages (1/3 ML and 1 ML), we here demo...
متن کاملBuckled circular monolayer graphene: a graphene nano-bowl.
We investigate the stability of circular monolayer graphene subjected to a radial load using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. When monolayer graphene is radially stressed, after some small circular strain (∼0.4%) it buckles and bends into a new bowl-like shape. Young's modulus is calculated from the linear relation between stress and strain before the buckling threshold, which is...
متن کاملTwisting bilayer graphene superlattices.
Bilayer graphene is an intriguing material in that its electronic structure can be altered by changing the stacking order or the relative twist angle, yielding a new class of low-dimensional carbon system. Twisted bilayer graphene can be obtained by (i) thermal decomposition of SiC; (ii) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metal catalysts; (iii) folding graphene; or (iv) stacking graphene layers...
متن کاملTopological features and gauge fields in graphene superlattices. Detecting Topological Currents in Graphene Superlattices
The quest for crystals whose electronic bands show non trivial topological features has not ceased since the discovery of the Quantum Hall Effect. The amazing current quantization in QHE devices can be traced back to edge states which emerge from non trivial electronic structures[1, 2]. Topological properties are typically associated to integer numbers, so that they are quite robust against per...
متن کاملDetecting topological currents in graphene superlattices.
Topological materials may exhibit Hall-like currents flowing transversely to the applied electric field even in the absence of a magnetic field. In graphene superlattices, which have broken inversion symmetry, topological currents originating from graphene's two valleys are predicted to flow in opposite directions and combine to produce long-range charge neutral flow. We observed this effect as...
