Hydration-controlled twist forms a moiré glass in charge-frustrated layered silicates

Juhyeok Lee, Piotr Zarzycki, Colin Ophus +5

Twisting layered materials produces moiré superlattices, but prescribed twist angles are usually obtained by demanding assembly procedures. Here we show that montmorillonite, an a…
