Relaxation-driven flat bands and topology in moiré transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers
Mitchell Luskin, Max Geier, Liang Fu +1
Moiré transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers are commonly modeled by a continuum theory that yields topologically trivial bands, in contrast to their homobilayer coun…
AIMS: an AI experimentalist turns uncertainty into quantum matter discovery
Siyuan Qiu, Philip D. Suh, Nhat Huy Tran +13
Most AI agents act only after scientists have defined the task. Discovery is harder under practical uncertainties: the probe may not be where it is expected, the signal may occupy…
Self-Assembled H2NC Molecular Lattices as a Platform for Tunable Quantum Superlattices
Adrian Bahri, Zhibo Kang, Ziyan Zhu +3
Compared to van der Waals moiré systems, molecular assembly has emerged as an exciting alternative platform for superlattice engineering via heterointegration. The electronic prope…
Twisted Trilayer Graphene, Quasiperiodic Superconductor
Xinghai Zhang, Ziyan Zhu, Justin H. Wilson +1
Twisted multilayer moiré materials are generically quasiperiodic on the moiré scale due to the interference of different misaligned moiré periodicities. Spatial inhomogeneities suc…
Non-monotonic band flattening near the magic angle of twisted bilayer MoTe
Yujun Deng, William Holtzmann, Ziyan Zhu +13
Twisted bilayer MoTe (tMoTe) is an emergent platform for exploring exotic quantum phases driven by the interplay between nontrivial band topology and strong electron correl…

We report a twisted triple bilayer graphene platform consisting of three units of Bernal bilayer graphene consecutively twisted at 1.49° and 1.68°. We demonstrate the atomic recons…
Electron Collimation in Twisted Bilayer Graphene via Gate-defined Moiré Barriers
Wei Ren, Xi Zhang, Ziyan Zhu +6
Electron collimation via a graphene pn-junction allows electrostatic control of ballistic electron trajectories akin to that of an optical circuit. Similar manipulation of novel co…
Harnessing excitons at the nanoscale -- photoelectrical platform for quantitative sensing and imaging
Zhurun Ji, Mark E. Barber, Ziyan Zhu +8
Excitons -- quasiparticles formed by the binding of an electron and a hole through electrostatic attraction -- hold promise in the fields of quantum light confinement and optoelect…

We fabricate a twisted trilayer graphene device with consecutive twist angles of 1.33 and 1.64 degrees, in which we electrostatically tune the electronic states from each of the tw…
Multi-moiré trilayer graphene: lattice relaxation, electronic structure, and magic angles
Charles Yang, Julian May-Mann, Ziyan Zhu +1
We systematically explore the structural and electronic properties of twisted trilayer graphene systems. In general, these systems are characterized by two twist angles, which lead…
