This approach to MBL is underpinned by mapping the dynamics of the many-body system onto that of a fictitious single particle on the high-dimensional, correlated and disordered Fock-space graph; yet, as we elaborate, the problem is fundamentally different from that of conventional Anderson localisation on high-dimensional or hierarchical graphs. We discuss in detail the nature of eigenstate correlations on the Fock space, both static and dynamic, and in the ergodic and many-body localised phases as well as in the vicinity of the MBL transition. The latter in turn sheds light on the nature of the transition, and motivates a scaling theory for it in terms of Fock-space based quantities. We also illustrate how these quantities can be concretely connected to real-space observables. An overview is given of several analytical and numerical techniques which have proven important in developing a comprehensive picture. Finally, we comment on some open questions in the field of MBL where the Fock-space approach is likely to prove insightful.</p>","PeriodicalId":16776,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142682057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the hBN intercalation primarily serves as a spacer to increase the interlayer distance and alter the screening, without producing a significant band offset shift. Here, we use Janus monolayer CSiH<sub>2</sub>, possessing a prominent out-of-plane intrinsic dipole moment and large enough band gap, as an intercalation to build trilayer MoS<sub>2</sub>/CSiH<sub>2</sub>/WS<sub>2</sub>heterostructures. Our calculated results by means of many-body perturbation theory reveal that the band alignment characteristics and the band gaps are dramatically altered in the presence of the CSiH<sub>2</sub>monolayer, due to the large potential drop across the interface of bilayer TMDs. By solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation, we observe the static dipole moment of the interlayer excitons (IXs) can be reversed through tuning the stacking sequence of CSiH<sub>2</sub>. More importantly, the radiative lifetime of IX has been substantially prolonged in MoS<sub>2</sub>/CSiH<sub>2</sub>/WS<sub>2</sub>, several orders of magnitude longer than that of bilayer MoS<sub>2</sub>/WS<sub>2</sub>, and varies between 10<sup>-9</sup>-10<sup>-5</sup>s at 0 K with different stacking sequence of CSiH<sub>2</sub>.
