Atomically thin layers of two-dimensional materials can be assembled in vertical stacks that are held together by relatively weak van der Waals forces, enabling coupling between …
Moiré superlattices based on van der Waals bilayers,,–created at small twist angles lead to a long wavelength pattern with approximate translational symmetry. At large twist angles (θ t) …
Electronic states in quasicrystals generally preclude a Bloch description, rendering them fascinating and enigmatic. Owing to their complexity and scarcity, quasicrystals are …
Moiré superlattices enable the generation of new quantum phenomena in two-dimensional heterostructures, in which the interactions between the atomically thin layers qualitatively …
Bilayer graphene can be modified by rotating (twisting) one layer with respect to the other. The interlayer twist gives rise to a moiré superlattice that affects the electronic motion and …
Moiré superlattices have recently become excellent platforms for studying new properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. With periodic moiré patterns, moiré superlattices …
Reducing the energy bandwidth of electrons in a lattice below the long-range Coulomb interaction energy promotes correlation effects. Moiré superlattices—which are created by …
Moiré systems formed by 2D atomic layers have widely tunable electrical and optical properties and host exotic, strongly correlated and topological phenomena, including …
Moiré superlattices formed by stacking two-dimensional crystals have reinvigorated the pursuit for emergent functionalities of engineered superlattices. Unique optical …
