The electronic properties of van der Waals (vdW) structures can be substantially modified by
the moiré superlattice potential, which strongly depends on the twist angle among the …

We theoretically explore possible orders induced by weak repulsive interactions in twisted
bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (eg, WSe 2) in the presence of an out-of-plane …

Overlaying two graphene layers with a small twist angle θ can create a moiré superlattice to
realize exotic phenomena that are entirely absent in a graphene monolayer. A …

The interplay between interlayer van der Waals interaction and intralayer lattice distortion
can lead to structural reconstruction in slightly twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) with the twist …

In two-dimensional small-angle twisted bilayers, van der Waals (vdW) interlayer interaction
introduces an atomic-scale reconstruction, which consists of a moiré-periodic network of …

The Berry phase plays an important role in determining many physical properties of
quantum systems. However, tuning the energy spectrum of a quantum system via Berry …

Abstract Large-scale two-dimensional (2D) moiré superlattices are driving a revolution in
designer quantum materials. The electronic interactions in these superlattices, strongly …

The electronic properties of graphene have been intensively investigated over the past
decade. However, the singular orbital magnetism of undoped graphene, a fundamental …

In twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), a twist-angle-dependent competition between interlayer
stacking energy and intralayer elastic energy results in flat rigid layers at large twist angles …

Introducing quantum confinement has uncovered a rich set of interesting quantum
phenomena and allows one to directly probe the physics of confined (quasi-) particles. In …
