Intrinsic Quantized Anomalous Hall Effect in a Moiré Heterostructure, Part III: Scanning Probe Magnetometry

ORAL

Abstract

This is the third of three talks describing the observation and characterization of a ferromagnetic moiré heterostructure based on twisted bilayer graphene aligned to hexagonal boron nitride. In this segment I will present scanning probe magnetometry data acquired using a nanoSQUID-on-tip microscope, which provides ~150 nm spatial resolution and a field sensitivity of ~10 nT/rtHz. We study the distribution of magnetic domains within the device as a function of density, magnetic field training, and DC current. Our data allow us to constrain the magnitude of the orbital magnetic moment of the electrons in the QAH state. Comparison with simultaneously acquired transport data allows us to precisely correlate single domain dynamics with discrete jumps in the observed anomalous Hall signal.

*I would like to thank the MURI program, Sloan foundation, AFOSR, and ARO for their generous support of this work. I would also like to thank the NSF GRFP and the Hertz foundation for their generous support of my graduate studies.
