Local-Antisymmetric Flat Band and Coexisting Correlated stripe charge orders in WSe2-Modulated Twisted Bilayer Graphene
Chi Zhang, Shihao Zhang, Mengmeng Zhang +2
Insulating, atomically flat transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like WSe2 are ideal substrates for probing intrinsic graphene properties. Conventionally, their influence on gra…
Realization of 2/3-layer transition metal dichalcogenides
Ya-Xin Zhao, Zi-Yi Han, Ya-Ning Ren +4
Layered van der Waals transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), generally composed of three atomic X-M-X planes in each layer (M = transition metal, X = chalcogen), provide versati…
Visualizing orbital angular momentum induced single wavefront dislocation in graphene
Yi-Wen Liu, Yu-Chen Zhuang, Ya-Ning Ren +5
Phase singularities are phase-indeterminate points where wave amplitudes are zero, which manifest as phase vertices or wavefront dislocations. In the realm of optical and electron…
Relativistic artificial molecules with tunable coupling and orbitals
Xiao-Feng Zhou, Yu-Chen Zhuang, Mo-Han Zhang +3
In a molecule formed by two atoms, energy difference between bonding and antibonding orbitals should depend on distance of the two atoms. However, exploring molecular orbitals of t…
Layer-dependent evolution of electronic structures and correlations in rhombohedral multilayer graphene
