Superconductivity and strong correlations in moiré flat bands

L Balents, CR Dean, DK Efetov, AF Young - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Strongly correlated systems can give rise to spectacular phenomenology, from high-
temperature superconductivity to the emergence of states of matter characterized by long …

Electronic-structure methods for twisted moiré layers

S Carr, S Fang, E Kaxiras - Nature Reviews Materials, 2020 - nature.com
When single layers of 2D materials are stacked on top of one another with a small twist in
orientation, the resulting structure often involves incommensurate moiré patterns. In these …

Magic in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers

T Devakul, V Crépel, Y Zhang, L Fu - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
The long-wavelength moiré superlattices in twisted 2D structures have emerged as a highly
tunable platform for strongly correlated electron physics. We study the moiré bands in …

Intrinsic quantized anomalous Hall effect in a moiré heterostructure

M Serlin, CL Tschirhart, H Polshyn, Y Zhang, J Zhu… - Science, 2020 - science.org
The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect combines topology and magnetism to produce
precisely quantized Hall resistance at zero magnetic field. We report the observation of a …

Berry curvature dipole senses topological transition in a moiré superlattice

S Sinha, PC Adak, A Chakraborty, K Das, K Debnath… - Nature Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Topological aspects of the electron wave function—including the Berry curvature and Chern
number—play a crucial role in determining the physical properties of materials. Although the …

Topological insulators in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers

F Wu, T Lovorn, E Tutuc, I Martin, AH MacDonald - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We show that moiré bands of twisted homobilayers can be topologically nontrivial, and
illustrate the tendency by studying valence band states in±K valleys of twisted bilayer …

Observation of moiré excitons in WSe2/WS2 heterostructure superlattices

C Jin, EC Regan, A Yan, M Iqbal Bakti Utama, D Wang… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Moiré superlattices enable the generation of new quantum phenomena in two-dimensional
heterostructures, in which the interactions between the atomically thin layers qualitatively …

Chern mosaic and Berry-curvature magnetism in magic-angle graphene

S Grover, M Bocarsly, A Uri, P Stepanov, G Di Battista… - Nature physics, 2022 - nature.com
Charge carriers in magic-angle graphene come in eight flavours described by a combination
of their spin, valley and sublattice polarizations. When inversion and time-reversal …

Electrical switching of magnetic order in an orbital Chern insulator

H Polshyn, J Zhu, MA Kumar, Y Zhang, F Yang… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Magnetism typically arises from the joint effect of Fermi statistics and repulsive Coulomb
interactions, which favours ground states with non-zero electron spin. As a result, controlling …

Parent Berry curvature and the ideal anomalous Hall crystal

T Tan, T Devakul - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We study a model of electrons moving in a parent band of uniform Berry curvature. At
sufficiently high parent Berry curvature, we show that strong repulsive interactions …
