Fermiology and the Candidate Chiral Superconductor in Rhombohedral Tetralayer Graphene

Sandesh S. Kalantre, Ben H. Alexander, Julian May-Mann +11

Chiral superconductivity, in which the phase of the superconducting order parameter winds in momentum space, has long been sought for its close link to topological superconductivit…

Resolving the Electron Plume within a Scanning Electron Microscope

Francis M. Alcorn, Christopher Perez, Eric J. Smoll +7

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a century-old technique, is today a ubiquitous method of imaging the surface of nanostructures. However, most SEM detectors simply count the num…

Quantitative determination of twist angle and strain in Van der Waals moiré superlattices

Steven J. Tran, Jan-Lucas Uslu, Mihir Pendharkar +9

Scanning probe techniques are popular, non-destructive ways to visualize the real space structure of Van der Waals moirés. The high lateral spatial resolution provided by these tec…

Deterministic fabrication of graphene hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices

Rupini V. Kamat, Aaron L. Sharpe, Mihir Pendharkar +11

The electronic properties of moiré heterostructures depend sensitively on the relative orientation between layers of the stack. For example, near-magic-angle twisted bilayer graphe…

Thermal relaxation of strain and twist in ferroelectric hexagonal boron nitride moiré interfaces

Marisa Hocking, Christina E. Henzinger, Steven Tran +6

New properties can arise at van der Waals (vdW) interfaces hosting a moiré pattern generated by interlayer twist and strain. However, achieving precise control of interlayer twist/…

Torsional Force Microscopy of Van der Waals Moirés and Atomic Lattices

Mihir Pendharkar, Steven J. Tran, Gregory Zaborski +13

In a stack of atomically-thin Van der Waals layers, introducing interlayer twist creates a moiré superlattice whose period is a function of twist angle. Changes in that twist angle…

Torsional Periodic Lattice Distortions and Diffraction of Twisted 2D Materials

Suk Hyun Sung, Yin Min Goh, Hyobin Yoo +12

Twisted 2D materials form complex moiré structures that spontaneously reduce symmetry through picoscale deformation within a mesoscale lattice. We show twisted 2D materials contain…
