The ability to switch magnetic elements by spin-orbit-induced torques has recently attracted much attention for a path towards high-performance, non-volatile memories with low power consumption. Realizing efficient spin-orbit-based…
In the Landau levels of a two-dimensional electron system or when flat bands are present, e.g. in twisted van der Waals bilayers, strong electron-electron interaction gives rise to quantum Hall ferromagnetism with spontaneously broken…
We theoretically investigated the chiral phonons of honeycomb-type bilayer Wigner crystals recently discovered in van der Waals structures of layered transition metal dichalcogenides. These chiral phonons can emerge under the inversion…
Twisting two-dimensional van der Waals magnets allows the formation and control of different spin-textures, as skyrmions or magnetic domains. Beyond the rotation angle, different spin reversal processes can be engineered by increasing the…
Understanding the topological aspects of the band structure of solids has fundamentally changed our appreciation of their properties. The layered, van der Waals transition-metal pentatelluride ZrTe$_5$ has proven on numerous occasions to be…
We experimentally investigate spin-polarized transport between a ferromagnetic Ni electrode and a surface of Weyl semimetal, realized in a thick WTe$_2$ single crystal. For highly-transparent Ni-WTe$_2$ planar junctions, we observe…
Twisted bilayer graphene exhibits prominent correlated phenomena in two distinct regimes: a Kondo lattice near the magic angle, resembling heavy fermion systems, and a triangular correlated domain wall network under interlayer bias, akin to…
The growing library of two-dimensional layered materials is providing researchers with a wealth of opportunity to explore and tune physical phenomena at the nanoscale. Here, we review the experimental and theoretical state-of-art concerning…
The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) layered magnetic materials has opened an exciting playground for both fundamental studies of magnetism in 2D and explorations of spinbased applications. Remarkable properties, including spin filtering…
Twisted two-dimensional bi-layers offer exquisite control on the electronic bandstructure through the interlayer rotation and coupling, enabling magic-angle flat-band superconductivity and moir\'e excitons. Here, we demonstrate how…
We investigated the nonreciprocal spin-wave properties, including the frequency shift, of a helical equilibrium state in a versatile CoFeB/NiFe bilayer. Through an extension of the dynamic matrix formalism (developed in this work) to an…
We address the sliding thermodynamics of van der Waals-bonded bilayers by the continuum elasticity theory. We attribute the robustness of the ferroelectricity recently observed in h-BN and WTe2 bilayers to large monolayer in-plane…
The crystal structure of a material creates a periodic potential that electrons move through giving rise to the electronic band structure of the material. When two-dimensional materials are stacked, the twist angle between the layers…

Traditional ferroelectrics undergo thermally-induced phase transitions whereby their structural symmetry increases. The associated higher-symmetry structure is dubbed {\em paraelectric}. Ferroelectric transition metal dichalcogenide…
