Non-local interactions and supersolidity of moiré excitons

Abstract

Heterobilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) moiré systems provide an ideal framework to investigate strongly correlated physics. Here we theoretically study bosonic many-body phases of excitons in moiré TMDCs. By using two moiré models and cluster mean-field theory, we reveal that, due to non-local Coulomb interactions, moiré excitons can feature exotic supersolid phases, i.e. superfluids of broken translational invariance, and correlated insulating states. The correlated phases exist at experimentally accessible temperatures and are tunable via the twist angle and exciton density.
