Magnetotransport of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides

ORAL

Abstract

Two-dimensional van der Waals material has become an exciting field. One of the reason is that this system provides multiple degrees of freedom, including stacking order, interlayer spacing and interlayer twisted angle, to engineer the material band structure. Manipulate these degrees of freedom has led to observation of several emergent phenomena, including the fractal quantum Hall effect, tunable Mott insulators, and unconventional superconductivity. In particular, interlayer interaction in van der Waals heterostructures at a different twisted angle could induce many exotic phenomena. How the interlayer interaction affect the electronic structure of a material is a fundamental question. In this study, we report magnetotransport of twisted bilayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and demonstrate how its band structure vary with twisted angle. These results broaden the application range of van der Waals heterostructure for future electronic devices.
