Two-step flux synthesis of ultrapure transition metal dichalcogenides
Song Liu, Yang Liu, Luke Nemetz Holtzman +10
Here, we describe synthesis of TMD crystals using a two-step flux growth method that eliminates a major potential source of contamination. Detailed characterization of TMDs grown b…
Frustrated magnetic interactions in a Wigner-Mott insulator
Yanhao Tang, Kaixiang Su, Lizhong Li +9
Two-dimensional semiconductor moiré materials have emerged as a highly controllable platform to simulate and explore quantum condensed matter. Compared to real solids, electrons in…
Dielectric catastrophe at the Mott and Wigner transitions in a moiré superlattice
Yanhao Tang, Jie Gu, Song Liu +5
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) driven by electronic correlations is a fundamental and challenging problem in condensed-matter physics. Particularly, whether such a transition…
Creation of moiré bands in a monolayer semiconductor by spatially periodic dielectric screening
Yang Xu, Connor Horn, Jiacheng Zhu +9
Moiré superlattices of two-dimensional van der Waals materials have emerged as a powerful platform for designing electronic band structures and discovering emergent physical phenom…
Spatially mixed moiré excitons in two-dimensional van der Waals superlattices
Yanhao Tang, Jie Gu, Song Liu +5
Moiré superlattices open an unprecedented opportunity for tailoring interactions between quantum particles and their coupling to electromagnetic fields. Strong superlattice potenti…
WSe2/WS2 moiré superlattices: a new Hubbard model simulator
Yanhao Tang, Lizhong Li, Tingxin Li +8
The Hubbard model, first formulated by physicist John Hubbard in the 1960s, is a simple theoretical model of interacting quantum particles in a lattice. The model is thought to cap…
