Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are 2D semiconductors with tightly
bound excitons and correspondingly strong light–matter interactions. Owing to the weak van …

The design and control of material interfaces is a foundational approach to realize
technologically useful effects and engineer material properties. This is especially true for two …

Recent experiments on rhombohedral pentalayer graphene with a substrate-induced moiré
potential have identified both Chern insulators and fractional quantum Hall states at zero …

Studies of two-dimensional electron systems in a strong magnetic field revealed the
quantum Hall effect, a topological state of matter featuring a finite Chern number C and …

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 …

Stacking order can influence the physical properties of two-dimensional van der Waals
materials,. Here we applied hydrostatic pressure up to 2 GPa to modify the stacking order in …

We report the connection between the stacking order and magnetic properties of bilayer CrI3
using first-principles calculations. We show that the stacking order defines the magnetic …

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 …

Flexible long period moiré superlattices form in two-dimensional van der Waals crystals
containing layers that differ slightly in lattice constant or orientation. In this Letter we show …

The Mott insulator is a central concept in strongly correlated physics and manifests when the
repulsive Coulomb interaction between electrons dominates over their kinetic energy …
