Characterization and Quantum Transport of Small-Angle Twisted Bilayer WTe<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Monolayer WTe2 hosts various interesting quantum states, including superconductivity, quantum spin Hall states and a novel insulating state with excitonic pairing. Recent experiments have further shown that twisted bilayer WTe2 (tWTe2, i.e. a stack of two monolayer WTe2 at a specific twist angle) provides another platform for observing novel physics that goes beyond what is seen in the monolayer, including a highly anisotropic 2D phase that mimics a Luttinger liquid. The fascinating physics of tWTe2 is originated from its rich, highly tunable Moire lattice structure and strong electron correlations. In this talk, I will present our recent progress in the characterization and transport studies of tWTe2 devices, with a focus on those with small twist angles.
