Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect in Multilayer Graphene
Researchers have observed the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) in a multilayer graphene-hBN moiré superlattice. The FQAHE, which is the zero magnetic field counterpart of the fractional quantum Hall effect, has previously only been observed in twisted MoTe2. The team observed quantized Hall resistance plateaus accompanied by dips in longitudinal resistance at specific filling factors of the moiré superlattice. By tuning gate-displacement field and filling factors, the researchers also observed phase transitions between different electron states. This discovery opens up possibilities for exploring charge fractionalization and non-Abelian anyonic braiding.
