The excitonic insulator is a long conjectured correlated electron phase stabilized by weakly screened electron-hole interactions. Recent intensive studies have established Ta2NiSe5 as one of the most promising candidate materials. The precise control of a many-body electronic phase with an external handle is both challenging and interesting. In our study, we realized a full and controllable phase tuning of Ta2NiSe5 from the excitonic insulator ground state to a zero-gap semiconductor state by using a tip of scanning tunneling microscope. Such dramatic reconstruction of electronic states proves the many-body nature of the gap in Ta2NiSe5, and is consistent with excitonic insulator behavior.
