Contemporary quantum materials research is guided by themes of topology and electronic
correlations. A confluence of these two themes is engineered in moiré materials, an …

Twisted van der Waals (vdW) quantum materials have emerged as a rapidly develo** field
of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. These materials establish a new central research …

Moiré superlattices host a rich variety of correlated electronic phases. However, the moiré
potential is fixed by interlayer coupling, and it is dependent on the nature of carriers and …

Moiré superlattices and their interlayer interactions in van der Waals heterostructures have
received surging attention for manipulating the properties of quantum materials. In this work …

This is an update of a previous review (Naumis et al 2017 Rep. Prog. Phys. 80 096501).
Experimental and theoretical advances for straining graphene and other metallic, insulating …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is widely used as a protective layer for few-atom-thick
crystals and heterostructures (HSs), and it hosts quantum emitters working up to room …

The interlayer coupling is emerging as a new parameter for tuning the physical properties of
two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials. When two identical semiconductor …

Robust room‐temperature interfacial ferroelectricity has been formed in the 2D limit by
simply twisting two atomic layers of non‐ferroelectric hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). A …

Recent research has highlighted the potential of ferroelectricity in van der Waals bilayers in
providing an unconventional route for improving device performance. Understanding the …

When a twist angle is applied between two layered materials (LMs), the registry of the layers
and the associated change in their functional properties are spatially modulated, and a …
