Moir\'e superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures provide a tunable platform to study emergent properties that are absent in the natural crystal form. Twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TB-TMDs) can host moir\'e flat…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) usually exist in two or more structural phases with different physical properties, and can be repeatedly switched between these phases via different stimuli, making them potentially…

Correlated two-dimensional (2D) layers, like 1T-phases of TaS2, TaSe2 and NbSe2, exhibit rich tunability through varying interlayer couplings, which promotes the understanding of electron-correlation in the 2D limit. However, the coupling…
In recent years, twisted bilayer systems such as bilayer graphene have attracted a great deal of attention as the twist angle introduces a degree of freedom which can be used to non-trivially modify system properties. This idea has been…
Little is known about the role of weak interlayer coupling in the second harmonic generation (SHG) effects of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) systems. In this article, taking homo-bilayer $MoS_2/MoS_2$ and hetero-bilayer $MoS_2/MoSe_2$…
Strongly correlated materials exhibit exotic electronic states arising from the strong correlation between electrons. Dimensionality provides a tuning knob because thinning down to atomic thickness reduces screening effects and enhances…
