Article Abstract

The discovery of flat bands with nontrivial band topology in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) has provided a unique platform to study strongly correlated phenomena including superconductivity, correlated insulators, Chern insulators, and magnetism. A fundamental feature of the MATBG, so far unexplored, is its high magnetic field Hofstadter spectrum. Here, we report on a detailed magnetotransport study of a MATBG device in external magnetic fields of up to B=31  T, corresponding to one magnetic flux quantum per moiré unit cell Φ_{0}. At Φ_{0}, we observe reentrant correlated insulators at a flat band filling factors of ν=+2 and of ν=+3, and interaction-driven Fermi-surface reconstructions at other fillings, which are identified by new sets of Landau levels originating from these. These experimental observations are supplemented by theoretical work that predicts a new set of eight well-isolated flat bands at Φ_{0}, of comparable band width, but with different topology than in zero field. Overall, our magnetotransport data reveal a qualitatively new Hofstadter spectrum in MATBG, which arises due to the strong electronic correlations in the reentrant flat bands.

We report direct spectroscopic evidence of correlation-driven Mott states in layered Nb_{3}Cl_{8} through combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and dynamical mean-field theory. The Hubbard bands persist down to monolayer, providing the definitive evidence for the Mottness in Nb_{3}Cl_{8}. While the size of the Mott gap remains almost constant across all layers, a striking layer-parity-dependent oscillation emerges in the local density of states (LDOS) between even (n=2, 4, 6) and odd layers (n=1, 3, 5), which arises from the dimerization and correlation modulation of the obstructed atomic states, respectively.

The electronic properties of correlated insulators are governed by the strength of Coulomb interactions, enabling the control of electronic conductivity with external stimuli. This work highlights that the strength of electronic correlations in nickel oxide (NiO), a prototypical charge-transfer insulator, can be coherently reduced by tuning the intensity of an optical pulse excitation. This weakening of correlations persists for hundreds of picoseconds and exhibits a recovery time independent of photodoping density across two orders of magnitude.
