Non-uniform quantum geometry stabilizes generalized Wigner crystals

Nicolás Morales-Durán, Tobias M. R. Wolf, Jingtian Shi +3

Moiré materials host fractional Chern insulators and electron crystals in close proximity, but the mechanism selecting between them remains an open question. We address this compet…

Higher Chern bands in helical homotrilayer transition metal dichalcogenides

Jungho Daniel Choi, Nicolás Morales-Durán, Yves H. Kwan +3

We propose helically twisted homotrilayer transition metal dichalcogenides as a platform for realizing correlated topological phases of matter with higher and tunable Chern numbers…

Effects of Berry curvature on ideal fractional Chern insulator many-body gaps

Jingtian Shi, Jennifer Cano, Nicolás Morales-Durán

We investigate the many-body ground states in a family of fractionally-filled bands where the Berry curvature fluctuations can be tuned while maintaining ideal quantum geometry. We…

Robust Super-Moiré in Large Angle Single-Twist Bilayers

Yanxing Li, Chuqiao Shi, Fan Zhang +19

Forming long wavelength moiré superlattices (MSL) at small-angle twist van der Waals (vdW) bilayers has been a key approach to creating moiré flat bands. The small-angle twist, how…

Theory of magnetoroton bands in moiré materials

Bishoy M. Kousa, Nicolás Morales-Durán, Tobias M. R. Wolf +2

The recent realization of Hofstadter spectra and fractional Chern insulators in moiré materials has introduced a new ingredient, a periodic lattice potential, to the study of quant…

Experimental signature of layer skyrmions and implications for band topology in twisted WSe2 bilayers

Fan Zhang, Nicolás Morales-Durán, Yanxing Li +13

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) twisted homobilayers have been established as an ideal platform for studying strong correlation phenomena, as exemplified by the recent discov…
