In ordinary solids, nonlinear optical responses are typically studied in terms of unit-cell averages due to the angstr\"om-scale lattice constants. In contrast, moir\'e superlattices, characterized by a large length scale, unlock an…
Strain-induced lattice mismatch leads to moir\'{e} patterns in homobilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We investigate the structural and electronic properties of such strained moir\'{e} patterns in TMD homobilayers. The…

Magnetoelectric effect is a fundamental physics phenomenon that synergizes electric and magnetic degrees of freedom to generate distinct material responses like electrically tuned magnetism, which serves as a key foundation of the emerging…
The emerging field of twistronics, which harnesses the twist angle between two-dimensional materials, represents a promising route for the design of quantum materials, as the twist-angle-induced superlattices offer means to control topology…
Van der Waals (vdW) materials have greatly expanded our design space of heterostructures by allowing individual layers to be stacked at non-equilibrium configurations, for example via control of the twist angle. Such heterostructures not…
The supermoir\'e lattice, arising from the interference of multiple moir\'e patterns, dramatically reshapes the electronic band structure by introducing new minibands and modifying band dispersion. Concurrently, strong electronic…
Van der Waals (vdW) assembly could efficiently modulate the symmetry of two-dimensional (2D) materials that ultimately governs their physical properties. Of particular interest is the ferroelectric polarization being introduced by proper…
Ferroelectricity, the electrostatic counterpart to ferromagnetism, has long been thought to be incompatible with metallicity due to screening of electric dipoles and external electric fields by itinerant charges. Recent measurements,…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials naturally form moir\'{e} patterns with other crystalline layers, such as other 2D material or the surface of a substrate. These patterns add a nanoscale characteristic length in the form of a superlattice: the…
Controlling matter-light interactions with cavities is of fundamental importance in modern science and technology. It is exemplified in the strong-coupling regime, where matter-light hybrid modes form, with properties controllable via the…
