Layer-Hybridized Wigner Crystals in MoSe2/WS2 Moiré Superlattice
Tianyi Ouyang, Yuze Meng, Li Yan +11
Transition metal dichalcogenide moiré heterobilayers with type-II band alignment provide a versatile platform for layer-polarized generalized Wigner crystals, in which strong Coul…
Mechanochemical Nano-Writing of an Atomically Thin Metal
Shuai Zhang, Yanyu Jia, Atanu Samanta +14
Mechanical energy accelerates many physicochemical processes, including materials syntheses that are hard to produce with thermal energy alone. However, physical understanding conn…
Superconductivity in Electron Liquids: Precision Many-Body Treatment of Coulomb Interaction
Xiansheng Cai, Tao Wang, Shuai Zhang +5
More than a century after discovery, the theory of conventional superconductivity remains incomplete. While the importance of electron-phonon coupling is understood, a controlled f…
Strong Correlation Driven Quadrupolar to Dipolar Exciton Transitions in a Trilayer Moiré Superlattice
Yuze Meng, Lei Ma, Li Yan +13
The additional layer degree of freedom in trilayer moiré superlattices of transition metal dichalcogenides enables the emergence of novel excitonic species, such as quadrupolar ex…
Evolution of flat band and role of lattice relaxations in twisted bilayer graphene
Qian Li, Hongyun Zhang, Yijie Wang +15
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) exhibits correlated phenomena such as superconductivity and Mott insulating state related to the weakly dispersing flat band near the F…
