Effective K valley Hamiltonian for TMD bilayers under pressure and application to twisted bilayers with pressure-induced topological phase transitions

Miftah Hadi Syahputra Anfa, Sabri Elatresh, Hocine Bahlouli +1

Motivated by recent studies on topologically non-trivial moiré bands in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), we study MoTe${}_2$ bilayer systems subject to pressu…
