Abstract Unraveling the mechanism underlying topological phases, notably the Chern insulators (ChIs) in strong correlated systems at the microscopy scale, has captivated significant research interest. Nonetheless, ChIs harboring topological information have not always manifested themselves, owing to the constraints imposed by displacement fields in certain experimental configurations. In this study, we employ density-tuned scanning tunneling microscopy (DT-STM) to investigate the ChIs in twisted monolayer-bilayer graphene (tMBG). At zero magnetic field, we observe correlated metallic states. While under a magnetic field, a metal-insulator transition happens and an integer ChI is formed emanating from the filling index $ s = 3$ with a Chern number $C = 1$. Our results underscore the pivotal role of magnetic fields as a powerful probe for elucidating topological phases in twisted Van der Waals heterostructures.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
