A simple yet paradigmatic model for the interplay of strong electronic correlations and geometric frustration is the triangular lattice Hubbard model. Recently it was proposed that moir\'e structures of transition metal dichalcogenides can…
Cross-plane thermal conductivity in homogeneous transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibits a strong dependence on twist angle, originating from atomic reconstruction within moir\'e superlattices. This reconstruction redistributes…
Moir\'e super-potentials in two-dimensional materials allow unprecedented control of the ratio between kinetic and interaction energy. By this, they pave the way to study a wide variety of strongly correlated physics under a new light. In…
Moir\'e superlattices formed by transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers provide a versatile platform for studying strongly correlated electronic, excitonic, and topological phenomena in solids. In particular, angle-aligned…
The moir\'e superlattice of misaligned atomic bilayers paves the way for designing a new class of materials with wide tunability. In this work, we propose a photonic analog of the moir\'e superlattice based on dielectric resonator…
Disorder in moire superlattices simultaneously degrades flat-band localization and induces Anderson localization, yet how these two regimes interact has remained unclear. Here, we introduce a combined framework linking localization-length…
In stacks of two-dimensional crystals, mismatch of their lattice constants and misalignment of crystallographic axes lead to formation of moir\'{e} patterns. We show that moir\'{e} superlattice effects persist in twisted bilayer graphene…
Moir\'{e} superlattices in twisted bilayer graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as a powerful tool for engineering novel band structures and quantum phases of two-dimensional quantum materials. Here we investigate…
Unlike the spin-1/2 fermions, the Lieb and Dice lattices both host triply-degenerate low-energy excitations. Here, we discuss Moir\'e structures involving twisted bilayers of these lattices, which are shown to exhibit a tunable number of…
Twisted heterostructures of van der Waals materials have received much attention for their many remarkable properties. Here, we present a comprehensive theory of the long-range ordered magnetic phases of twisted bilayer $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the misfit strain-induced buckling of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) lateral heterostructures, denoted by the seamless epitaxial growth of different TMDs along the…
We develop a low-energy continuum model to describe the moir\'{e} physics of heterostructures, which is a generalization of the celebrated Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) method [R. Bistritzer and A. H. MacDonald, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.…
Atomically thin moir\'e materials behave like elastic membranes where at very small twist angles, the van der Waals adhesion energy much exceeds the strain energy. In this ``marginal twist" regime, regions with low adhesion energy expand,…
We report deterministic control over moir\'e superlattice interference pattern in twisted bilayer graphene by implementing designable device-level heterostrain with process-induced strain engineering, a widely used technique in industrial…
Moir\'e heterobilayers exhibiting spatially varying band alignment and electron and hole localization that can be precisely controlled through the twist angle have emerged as exciting platforms for studying complex quantum phenomena. While…
Twisted transition-metal dichalcogenides host highly tunable moir\'e potentials, flat bands, and correlated electronic phases, yet the role of disorder in shaping these emergent properties remains largely unresolved. Using scanning…
Displacement fields are one of the main tuning knobs employed to engineer flat electronic band dispersions in twisted van der Waals multilayers. Here, we show that electric fields can also be used to tune the phonon dispersion of moir\'e…
The relative orientation (twist) of successive layers of stacked two-dimensional (2D) materials creates variations in the interlayer atomic registry. The variations often form a super lattice, called a moir\'e pattern, which can alter…
We investigate a simplified continuum model of a twisted homotrilayer TMD with negligible next-nearest layer couplings. We systematically analyze band structure and topology of various stacking configurations in a twist angle range from…
We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the structural and elastic properties of 2H-MX$_2$ transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) (M = W, Mo, Ta, Nb; X = S, Se). Using density functional theory with various van der Waals…
