Applying long wavelength periodic potentials on quantum materials has recently been demonstrated to be a promising pathway for engineering novel quantum phases of matter. Here, we utilize twisted bilayer boron nitride (BN) as a moir\'e…
Two-dimensional ferroelectrics can maintain vertical polarization up to room temperature, and are, therefore, promising for next-generation nonvolatile memories. Although natural two-dimensional ferroelectrics are few, moir\'{e}…
We develop the moir\'e band theory for M-valley twisted square homobilayers with layer groups $P$-$42m$ and $P$-$4m2$, and propose candidate material realizations. We show that moir\'e ferroelectricity-originating from sliding…

In twisted bilayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a combination of structural rippling and electronic coupling gives rise to periodic moir\'e potentials that can confine charged and neutral excitations. Here, we…
Moir\'e materials, with superlattice periodicity many times the atomic length scale, have enabled the studies of strong electronic correlations and band topology with unprecedented tunability. However, nonvolatile control of the moir\'e…
Symmetry considerations suggest that moire superlattices formed by twisted two-dimensional materials should preserve overall inversion symmetry. However, experiments consistently report robust ferroelectricity in systems such as twisted…
Moire superlattices in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its derived structures can host exotic correlated quantum phenomena because the narrow moire flat minibands in those systems effectively enhance the electron-electron interaction.…

The discovery of flat-bands in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has underscored the potential of moire engineering for correlated states, but such phases are notoriously difficult to realize and highly fragile against perturbations.…
Moir\'e superlattices formed in stacks of two or more 2D crystals with similar lattice structures have recently become excellent platforms to reveal new physics in low-dimensional systems. They are, however, highly sensitive to the angle…
