Si Ťin-pching ve svém projevu na shromáždění o filozofických a společenských vědách dne 17. května 2016 uvedl, že čínská historiografie v současnosti ustavuje systém disciplín, systém akademické práce a diskurzívní systém. Systém disciplín odkazuje na snahu posílit ustavení nových disciplín (např. digitální historie, námořní historie apod.) a také interdisciplinárních oborů (např. enviromentální historie, urbánní historie apod.) a rovněž na posilování podpory nepopulárních disciplín, cenných pro čínské kulturní dědictví, jako například výzkumu pyromancie, který zahájili Wang Yirong (1845-1900), Liu E (1857-1909), Luo Zhenyu (1866-1940) a Wang Guowei (1877-1927). Systém akademické práce se vztahuje primárně, ale nikoli výlučně k rozvíjení marxistického akademického výzkumu a dalšího rozvíjení marxismu v současné Číně v kontextu 21. století. Diskurzívní systém odkazuje na snahu precizovat reprezentativní koncepty a teorie, vysvětlující čínskou praxi a vykazující vliv na mezinárodní akademickou obec. Současní čínští historici velmi dobře vědí, že tyto tři systémy jsou ovlivněny Západem, ale měly by se od něj zároveň specificky odlišovat.

Wigner crystals are predicted as the crystallization of the dilute electron gas moving in a uniform background when the electron-electron Coulomb energy dominates the kinetic energy. The Wigner crystal has previously been observed in the ultraclean two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) present on the surface of liquid helium and in semiconductor quantum wells at high magnetic field. More recently, Wigner crystals have also been reported in WS2/WSe2 moir\'e heterostructures. ABC-stacked trilayer graphene on boron nitride (ABC-TLG/hBN) moir\'e superlattices provide a unique tunable platform to explore Wigner crystal states where the electron correlation can be controlled by electric and magnetic field. Here we report the observation of magnetic field stabilized Wigner crystal states in a ABC-TLG/hBN moir\'e superlattice. We show that correlated insulating states emerge at multiple fractional and integer fillings corresponding to v = 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 5/3 and 2 electrons per moir\'e lattice site under a magnetic field. These correlated insulating states can be attributed to generalized Mott states for the integer fillings (v = 1, 2) and generalized Wigner crystal states for the fractional fillings (v = 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 5/3). The generalized Wigner crystal states are stabilized by a vertical magnetic field, and they are strongest at one magnetic flux quantum per three moir\'e superlattices. The correlated insulating states at v = 2 persists up to 30 Tesla, which can be described by a Mott-Hofstadter transition at high magnetic field. The tunable Mott and Wigner crystal states in the ABC-TLG/hBN highlight the opportunities to discover new correlated quantum phases due to the interplay between the magnetic field and moir\'e flatbands., Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures

Moir\'e potentials in two-dimensional materials have been proven to be of fundamental importance to fully understand the electronic structure of van der Waals heterostructures, from superconductivity to correlated excitonic states. However, understanding how the moir\'e phonons, so-called phasons, affect the properties of the system still remains an uncharted territory. In this work, we demonstrate how phasons are integral to properly describing and understanding low-temperature interlayer exciton diffusion in WS2/WSe2 heterostructure. We perform photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to understand how the coupling between the layers, affected by their relative orientation, impacts the excitonic properties of the system. Samples fabricated with stacking angles of 0{\deg} and 60{\deg} are investigated taking into account the stacking angle dependence of the two common moir\'e potential profiles. Additionally, we present spatially and time-resolved exciton diffusion measurements, looking at the photoluminescence emission in a temperature range from 30 K to 250 K. An accurate potential for the two configurations are computed via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, we perform molecular dynamics simulation in order to visualize the phasons motion, estimating the phason speed at different temperatures, providing novel insights into the mechanics of exciton propagation at low temperatures that cannot be explained within the frame of classical exciton diffusion alone., Comment: A.

Coupled two-dimensional electron-hole bilayers provide a unique platform to study strongly correlated Bose-Fermi mixtures in condensed matter. Electrons and holes in spatially separated layers can bind to form interlayer excitons, composite Bosons expected to support high-temperature exciton superfluids. The interlayer excitons can also interact strongly with excess charge carriers when electron and hole densities are unequal. Here, we use optical spectroscopy to quantitatively probe the local thermodynamic properties of strongly correlated electron-hole fluids in MoSe2/hBN/WSe2 heterostructures. We observe a discontinuity in the electron and hole chemical potentials at matched electron and hole densities, a definitive signature of an excitonic insulator ground state. The excitonic insulator is stable up to a Mott density of ~$0.8\times {10}^{12} \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ and has a thermal ionization temperature of ~70 K. The density dependence of the electron, hole, and exciton chemical potentials reveals strong correlation effects across the phase diagram. Compared with a non-interacting uniform charge distribution, the correlation effects lead to significant attractive exciton-exciton and exciton-charge interactions in the electron-hole fluid. Our work highlights the unique quantum behavior that can emerge in strongly correlated electron-hole systems.

Moir\'e patterns of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers have proven to be an ideal platform to host unusual correlated electronic phases, emerging magnetism, and correlated exciton physics. While the existence of novel moir\'e excitonic states is established through optical measurements, the microscopic nature of these states is still poorly understood, often relying on empirically fit models. Here, combining large-scale first-principles GW-BSE calculations and micro-reflection spectroscopy, we identify the nature of the exciton resonances in WSe$_2$/WS$_2$ moir\'e superlattices, discovering a surprisingly rich set of moir\'e excitons that cannot be even qualitatively captured by prevailing continuum models. Our calculations reveal moir\'e excitons with distinct characters, including modulated Wannier excitons and previously unindentified intralayer charge-transfer excitons. Signatures of these distinct excitonic characters are confirmed experimentally via the unique carrier-density and magnetic-field dependences of different moir\'e exciton resonances. Our study highlights the highly non-trivial exciton states that can emerge in TMD moir\'e superlattices, and suggests novel ways of tuning many-body physics in moir\'e systems by engineering excited-states with specific spatial characters.

Moir\'e superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures have emerged as a powerful tool for engineering novel quantum phenomena. Here we report the observation of a correlated interlayer exciton insulator in a double-layer heterostructure composed of a WSe2 monolayer and a WS2/WSe2 moir\'e bilayer that are separated by an ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The moir\'e WS2/WSe2 bilayer features a Mott insulator state at hole density p/p0 = 1, where p0 corresponds to one hole per moir\'e lattice site. When electrons are added to the Mott insulator in the WS2/WSe2 moir\'e bilayer and an equal number of holes are injected into the WSe2 monolayer, a new interlayer exciton insulator emerges with the holes in the WSe2 monolayer and the electrons in the doped Mott insulator bound together through interlayer Coulomb interactions. The excitonic insulator is stable up to a critical hole density of ~ 0.5p0 in the WSe2 monolayer, beyond which the system becomes metallic. Our study highlights the opportunities for realizing novel quantum phases in double-layer moir\'e systems due to the interplay between the moir\'e flat band and strong interlayer electron interactions.

With angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, gap-opening is resolved at up to room temperature in the Dirac surface states of molecular beam epitaxy grown Cr-doped Bi2Se3 topological insulator films, which however show no long-range ferromagnetic order down to 1.5 K. The gap size is found decreasing with increasing electron doping level. Scanning tunneling microscopy and first principles calculations demonstrate that substitutional Cr atoms aggregate into superparamagnetic multimers in Bi2Se3 matrix, which contribute to the observed chemical potential dependent gap-opening in the Dirac surface states without long-range ferromagnetic order., 20 pages, 4 figures

We report a transport study of ultrathin Bi2Se3 topological insulators with thickness from one quintuple layer to six quintuple layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. At low temperatures, the film resistance increases logarithmically with decreasing temperature, revealing an insulating ground state. The sharp increase of resistance with magnetic field, however, indicates the existence of weak antilocalization, which should reduce the resistance as temperature decreases. We show that these apparently contradictory behaviors can be understood by considering the electron interaction effect, which plays a crucial role in determining the electronic ground state of topological insulators in the two dimensional limit., Comment: 4 figures
