Fabricating van der Waals (vdW) bilayer heterostructures (BL-HS) by stacking the same or different two-dimensional (2D) layers, offers a unique physical system with rich electronic and optical properties. Twist-angle between component…
We study two-component bosons on the Harper-Hofstadter model with two legs. The synthetic magnetic fields for the two types of bosons point to either the same direction or opposite directions. The bosons have hardcore intra-species…
Atomically thin heterostructures formed by twisted transition metal dichalcogenides can be used to create periodic moir\'e patterns. The emerging moir\'e potential can trap interlayer excitons into arrays of strongly interacting bosons,…
In binary compound 2D insulators/semiconductors such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), the different electron affinities of atoms can give rise to out-of-plane electric polarizations across inversion asymmetric van der Waals interface of…
The moir\'e superlattice formed by ABC stacked trilayer graphene aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride substrate (TG/h-BN) provides an interesting system where both the bandwidth and the topology can be tuned by an applied perpendicular…
We explore the phase diagram of a twisted bilayer of strongly interacting electrons on a honeycomb lattice close to half-filling using the slave boson mean-field theory. Our analysis indicates that a variety of new phases can be realized as…
Moir\'e lattices formed from semiconductor bilayers host tightly localised excitons that can simultaneously couple strongly to light and possess large electric dipole moments. This facilitates the realization of new forms of polaritons that…
The ability to tune the degree of interaction among particles at the nanoscale is highly intriguing. The spectroscopic signature of such interaction is often subtle and requires special probes to observe. To this end, inter-layer excitons…
We present a novel pairing mechanism for electrons, mediated by magnons. These paired bound states are termed ``magnetic doublons''. Applying numerically exact techniques (full diagonalization and the density-matrix renormalization group,…
At very small twist angles, bilayer moir\'e systems exhibit characteristic stacking domain patterns, where the moir\'e length scale is determined solely by the twist angle. In contrast, the additional stacking and twisting degrees of…
When monolayer graphene is crystallographically aligned to hexagonal boron nitride (BN), a moir\'e superlattice is formed, producing characteristic satellite Dirac peaks in the electronic band structure. Aligning a second BN layer to…
Large scale two-dimensional (2D) moir\'e superlattices are driving a revolution in designer quantum materials. The electronic interactions in these superlattices, strongly dependent on the periodicity and symmetry of the moir\'e pattern,…
Moir\'e superlattices (MSL) formed in angle-aligned bilayers of van der Waals materials have become a promising platform to realize novel two-dimensional electronic states. Angle-aligned trilayer structures can form two sets of MSLs which…
Lattice reconstruction in twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers gives rise to piezo- and ferroelectric moir\'e potentials for electrons and holes, as well as a modulation of the hybridisation across the bilayer. Here, we…
Quantum particles on a lattice with competing long-range interactions are ubiquitous in physics. Transition metal oxides, layered molecular crystals and trapped ion arrays are a few examples out of many. In the strongly interacting regime,…
The predicted formation of moire superlattices leading to confined excitonic states in heterostructures formed by stacking two lattice mismatched transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers was recently experimentally confirmed. Such…
Excitons, Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs, play a fundamental role in both optical excitation and correlated phenomena in solids. When an exciton interacts with other quasi-particles, few- and many-body excited states, such as trions,…
We study correlation effects and excitations in a dipolar Bose gas bilayer which is modeled by a one-dimensional double well trap that determines the width of an individual layer, the distance between the two layers, and the height of the…
Employing graphene as a template, we fabricate moir\'e superlattices by stacking bilayer or folded bilayer-bilayer graphene (BLG or fBBLG) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), i.e., hBN/BLG/hBN or hBN/fBBLG/hBN stacks, with a small twist…
Bose-Fermi mixtures naturally appear in various physical systems. In semiconductor heterostructures, such mixtures can be realized, with bosons as excitons and fermions as dopant charges. However, the complexity of these hybrid systems…
