Adiabatic Approximation and Aharonov-Casher Bands in Twisted Homobilayer TMDs

Jingtian Shi, Nicolás Morales-Durán, Eslam Khalaf +1

Topological flat moiré bands with nearly ideal quantum geometry have been identified in homobilayer transition metal dichalcogenide moiré superlattices, and are thought to be cruci…

Magic Angles and Fractional Chern Insulators in Twisted Homobilayer TMDs

Nicolás Morales-Durán, Nemin Wei, Jingtian Shi +1

We explain the appearance of magic angles and fractional Chern insulators in twisted K-valley homobilayer transition metal dichalcogenides by mapping their continuum model to a Lan…

Pressure--enhanced fractional Chern insulators in moiré transition metal dichalcogenides along a magic line

Nicolás Morales-Durán, Jie Wang, Gabriel R. Schleder +5

We show that pressure applied to twisted WSe can enhance the many-body gap and region of stability of a fractional Chern insulator at filling . Our results are based on…

Magnetism and Quantum Melting in Moiré-Material Wigner Crystals

Nicolás Morales-Durán, Pawel Potasz, Allan H. MacDonald

Recent experiments have established that semiconductor-based moiré materials can host incompressible states at a series of fractional moiré-miniband fillings. These states have bee…

Boundary condition and geometry engineering in electronic hydrodynamics

Roderich Moessner, Nicolás Morales--Durán, Piotr Surówka +1

We analyze the role of boundary geometry in viscous electronic hydrodynamics. We address the twin questions of how boundary geometry impacts flow profiles, and how one can engineer…
