Correlated states and anomalous transport in twisted MoTe<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

Twisted transition metal dichalcogenides(tTMDs) serve as the ideal platform to study strongly correlated two-dimensional systems due to their tunable bandwidth, simpler Hubbard band structure, and strong spin-orbital coupling. The 2H phase of MoTe2 has a smaller and direct bandgap in the intrinsic bilayer form, distinct from other TMDs. This makes MoTe2 an outstanding candidate for the transport study and engineering of emergent quantum states. Here we present a magnetotransport study of twisted MoTe2 with a twist angle range of 3.2-4.8 degrees. We observed multiple electric field tunable correlated states and anomalous magnetotransport, suggesting magnetic interaction associated with those correlated states.
