报告摘要:The response of Dirac fermions to a Coulomb potential is predicted to differ significantly from how non-relativistic electrons behave in traditional atomic and impurity systems. Surprisingly, many key theoretical predictions for this ultra-relativistic regime have not been tested. Graphene, a 2D material in which electrons behave like massless Dirac fermions, provides a unique opportunity to test such predictions. Here I will talk about our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of Coulomb impurities on graphene. The charged impurities on graphene display two types of behaviors: subcritical regime where Dirac fermions scatter off the charged impurities while remain their delocalized natures, and supercritical regime where a novel electronic state known as the “atomic collapse” state is formed.
