Creation of moire bands in a monolayer semiconductor by spatially periodic dielectric screening

Yang Xu et al.

Summary: Moire superlattices of two-dimensional van der Waals materials serve as a powerful tool for designing electronic band structures and exploring emergent physical phenomena. The creation of long-wavelength periodic potential and moire bands in a crystal through interlayer electronic hybridization or atomic corrugation when two materials are overlaid is a key concept. A new approach based on spatially periodic dielectric screening has been demonstrated to create moire bands in a monolayer semiconductor, showing that monolayer semiconductors can function as sensitive local dielectric sensors.

Unconventional sequence of correlated Chern insulators in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Andrew T. Pierce et al.

Summary: The discovery of unexpected incompressible states in MATBG, with Chern numbers incompatible with the simple sequential band filling assumption, can be understood as a consequence of broken translation symmetry that doubles the moire unit cell and splits each flavour band in two. These unusual incompressible phases expand the known phase diagram of MATBG and shed light on the close competition between different correlated phases in the system.

Tunable strongly coupled superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene

Jeong Min Park et al.

Summary: Moire superlattices have become a platform for studying correlated physics and superconductivity with unprecedented tunability. This study on magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene reveals a better tunability of electronic structure and superconducting properties than magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, with implications for the understanding of strongly coupled superconductivity. The results suggest that the system can be electrically tuned close to the crossover to a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate, indicating the potential for revolutionizing applications of superconductivity.

Chern insulators, van Hove singularities and topological flat bands in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Shuang Wu et al.

Summary: In magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, doping-induced Lifshitz transitions and van Hove singularities lead to the emergence of correlation-induced gaps and topologically non-trivial subbands. With the presence of a magnetic field, quantized Hall plateaus reveal the subband topology and signal the emergence of Chern insulators with Chern numbers. Additionally, a van Hove singularity at a filling of 3.5 suggests the possibility of a fractional Chern insulator, accompanied by a crossover from low-temperature metallic to high-temperature insulating behavior.

Summary: By constructing a van der Waals heterostructure with three stacked graphene layers at alternating twist angles, researchers observed tunable superconductivity at a specific twist angle.

Flavour Hund's coupling, Chern gaps and charge diffusivity in moire graphene

Jeong Min Park et al.

Summary: Interaction-driven spontaneous symmetry breaking plays a key role in the emergence of correlated and topological ground states in moire systems such as magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). Through thermodynamic and transport measurements, we have observed broken spin/valley 'flavour' symmetry in MATBG and its nontrivial topology. Furthermore, the topological nature of the flat bands is revealed by breaking time-reversal symmetry, leading to the observation of Chern insulator states with different Chern numbers at specific filling factors. Our findings shed light on the understanding of interactions in the topological bands of MATBG, both with and without a magnetic field.

In-Plane Critical Magnetic Fields in Magic-Angle Twisted Trilayer Graphene

Wei Qin et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene can survive in in-plane magnetic fields well beyond the Pauli limit, unlike magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. The difference is attributed to the symmetry and relative displacements present in trilayers, which are not under experimental control at present. An gate electric field can break the symmetry and limit the in-plane critical magnetic field.

Coulomb interaction, phonons, and superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene

Tommaso Cea et al.

Summary: The polarizability of twisted bilayer graphene, influenced by electron-hole pairs, plasmons, and acoustic phonons, allows for the formation of Cooper pairs and superconductivity through screened Coulomb interaction. The coupling between longitudinal phonons and electron-hole pairs enhances the tendency towards superconductivity. Umklapp processes involving large momentum transfers play a crucial role in the formation of Cooper pairs, resulting in varying magnitudes of the superconducting gap on the Fermi surface.

Heqiu Li et al.

Summary: The study focuses on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) Moire superlattices with time-reversal symmetry and nontrivial spin/valley-Chern numbers. By introducing the Coulomb repulsion, gapped fractional topological states, specifically fractional Chern insulators, are stabilized at certain twisting angles and fractional filling. These fractional states break time-reversal symmetry spontaneously and exhibit contrasting Chern numbers in opposite valleys.
