Composite fermions in ideal Chern bands

Songyang Pu, Liangtao Peng, Shaffique Adam

The composite-fermion framework maps the strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall state onto a weakly interacting integer quantum Hall state in a reduced effective magnetic fiel…

Moiré Topology in Twisted Structures with Noncollinear Spin-Orbit Coupling

Xilong Xu, Liangtao Peng, Shaffique Adam +1

Moiré superlattices provide a powerful platform for flat bands and correlated topological phases, yet most established examples rely on valley-contrasting Berry curvature in hexago…

Ferroelectric brightening of spin forbidden dark excitons in a WSe2/hybrid perovskite heterostructure

Xinyun Wang, Magdalena Grzeszczyk, Maxim Trushin +14

Long-lived dark excitons in monolayer WSe2 present promising candidates for carrying spin and valley information, but their optical access and spin manipulation have conventionally…

Lattice Relaxation in Moiré Heterobilayers

Christophe De Beule, Yiyang Lai, Liangtao Peng +2

We develop an analytical theory for lattice relaxation in twisted moiré heterobilayers, accounting for lattice mismatch, twist, external biaxial heterostrain, and different elastic…

Quantum Criticality in Monolayer Amorphous Carbon

Rejaul SK, Hanning Zhang, Artem K Grebenko +15

Amorphous solids represent the extreme limit of broken translational symmetry, in which the absence of long-range order removes well-defined crystal momenta and invalidates the Blo…

Continuous correlated states and dual-flatness in a moiré heterostructure

Mohammed M. Al Ezzi, Na Xin, Yanmeng Shi +13

Many-body effects in condensed matter yield novel quantum states when the electronic density of states is enhanced. A vivid example is flat bands, which suppress kinetic energy and…

Disorder-induced symmetry breaking in moiré bands of marginally twisted bilayer MoS

Pablo Reséndiz-Vázquez, Christophe de Beule, Thi-Hai-Yen Vu +8

Twisted transition-metal dichalcogenides host highly tunable moiré potentials, flat bands, and correlated electronic phases, yet the role of disorder in shaping these emergent prop…

Weak localization and universal conductance fluctuations in large area twisted bilayer graphene

Spenser Talkington, Debarghya Mallick, An-Hsi Chen +7

We study diffusive magnetotransport in highly p-doped large area twisted bilayer graphene in 1°, 7°, 9° and 20° samples. We report weak localization in twisted bilayer graphene for…

Role of electron-electron interactions in -valley twisted transition metal dichalcogenides

Christophe De Beule, Liangtao Peng, E. J. Mele +1

We investigate the role of long-range Coulomb interactions in -valley moirés using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation. This platform was recently proposed [Nature 64…

Theory for Lattice Relaxation in Marginal Twist Moirés

Christophe De Beule, Gayani N. Pallewela, Mohammed M. Al Ezzi +3

Atomically thin moiré materials behave like elastic membranes where at very small twist angles, the van der Waals adhesion energy much exceeds the strain energy. In this ``marginal…

Itinerant Magnetism in Twisted Bilayer WSe and MoTe

Liangtao Peng, Christophe De Beule, Yiyang Lai +4

Using a self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory, we show that the recently observed ferromagnetism in twisted bilayer WSe [Nat. Commun. 16, 1959 (2025)] can be understood as a Ston…

Many-body perturbation theory for moiré systems

Liangtao Peng, Giovanni Vignale, Shaffique Adam

Moiré systems such as magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene have attracted significant attention due to their ability to host correlated phenomena including superconductivity and st…

Imaging the Sub-Moiré Potential Landscape using an Atomic Single Electron Transistor

Dahlia R. Klein, Uri Zondiner, Amit Keren +10

Electrons in solids owe their properties to the periodic potential landscapes they experience. The advent of moiré lattices has revolutionized our ability to engineer such landscap…

Squeezing Quantum States in Three-Dimensional Twisted Crystals

Vo Tien Phong, Kason Kunkelmann, Christophe De Beule +4

A fundamental idea in wave mechanics is that propagation in a periodic medium can be described by Bloch waves whose conserved crystal momenta define their transformations when disp…

Imaging topological polar structures in marginally twisted 2D semiconductors

Thi-Hai-Yen Vu, Daniel Bennett, Gayani Nadeera Pallewella +16

Moire superlattices formed in van der Waals heterostructures due to twisting, lattice mismatch and strain present an opportunity for creating novel metamaterials with unique proper…

A self-consistent Hartree theory for lattice-relaxed magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Mohammed M. Al Ezzi, Liangtao Peng, Zhengyu Liu +4

For twisted bilayer graphene close to magic angle, we show that the effects of lattice relaxation and the Hartree interaction both become simultaneously important. Including both e…

Analytical Model for Atomic Relaxation in Twisted Moiré Materials

Mohammed M. Al Ezzi, Gayani N. Pallewela, Christophe De Beule +2

By virtue of being atomically thin, the electronic properties of heterostructures built from two-dimensional materials are strongly influenced by atomic relaxation. The atomic laye…
