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…

Nanoscale electronic transparency of wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride

Caleb Z. Zerger, Linsey K. Rodenbach, Yi-Ting Chen +8

Monolayer hBN has attracted interest as a potentially weakly interacting 2D insulating layer in heterostructures. Recently, wafer-scale hBN growth on Cu(111) has been demonstrated…
