英文摘要 | The electronic evolution of doped Mott insulators has been extensively studied for decades in search of exotic physical phases. The proposed Mott insulator 1T-TaS2 provides an intriguing platform to study the electronic evolution via doping. Here we apply scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study the evolution in Ti-doped 1T-TaS2 at different doping levels. The doping Ti atom locally perturbs the electronic and spin state inside the doped star of David and induces a clover-shaped orbital texture at low-doping levels (x < 0.01). The insulator to metal transition occurs around a critical point x = 0.01, in which small metallic and large insulating domains coexist. The clover-shaped orbital texture emerges at a broader energy range, revealing a competition with the electron correlation. It transforms to a disorder-induced Anderson insulating behavior as doping increases. We directly visualize the trapped electrons in dI/dV conductance maps. The comprehensive study of the series of Ti-doped 1T-TaS2 deepens our understanding of the electronic state evolution in a doped strong-correlated system. |
