Abstract
Electron-electron interactions (EEIs) in 2D van der Waals (vdW) nanostructures is a topic of high current interest, with implications in both fundamental physics and nanoelectronics. In this Rapid Communication, we report the observation of a negative parabolic magnetoresistance (MR) in the multilayer 2D semiconductor InSe beyond the low-field weak localization/antilocalization regime, and provide evidence for the EEI origin of this MR behavior. Further, we analyze this negative parabolic MR and other observed quantum transport signatures of EEIs (temperature-dependent conductance and Hall coefficient) within the framework of Fermi-liquid theory and extract the gate voltage tunable Fermi-liquid parameter F0σ which quantifies the electron spin-exchange interaction strength. This work opens up different directions for investigations of EEI effects in the electron transport of 2D vdW nanostructures.
