Chiral molecular intercalation superlattices

Qi Qian et al.

Summary: The discovery of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) allows the manipulation of spin orientation without external magnetic fields, opening up new possibilities for spintronic device designs. However, current systems often suffer from issues such as high inhomogeneity, low spin selectivity, limited stability, and difficulties in forming robust spintronic devices. In this study, a new class of chiral molecular intercalation superlattices (CMIS) was developed as a solid-state chiral material platform for exploring CISS. The CMIS exhibited highly ordered superlattice structures and showed chirality-dependent signals, enabling the creation of spin-selective tunnelling junctions with significant tunnelling magnetoresistance ratio and spin polarization ratio. With the wide range of 2DACs and chiral molecules available, CMIS offer a rich family of artificial chiral materials to investigate the CISS effect and explore its potential for new spintronic devices.

Moire trions in MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers

Xi Wang et al.

Summary: Researchers observed moire trions and their doping-dependent photoluminescence polarization in H-stacked MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers. As moire traps are filled with either electrons or holes, new sets of interlayer exciton photoluminescence peaks emerge with specific narrow linewidths. Circularly polarized photoluminescence reveals a switching polarization pattern as moire excitons transition from negatively charged to positively charged, driven by energy relaxation pathways during interlayer trion formation.

Charge-order-enhanced capacitance in semiconductor moire superlattices

Tingxin Li et al.

Summary: This study explores the thermodynamic properties of correlated insulating states in MoSe2/WS2 moire superlattices by measuring the gate capacitance, revealing a series of incompressible states and anomalously large capacitance phenomenon. The anomalously large capacitance is mainly attributed to the Coulomb interaction between electrons and phase mixing of the charge-ordered states, with device geometry dependence.

One-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures: Growth mechanism and handedness correlation revealed by nondestructive TEM

Yongjia Zheng et al.

Summary: This work focuses on synthesizing one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, where different atomic layers encase a single-walled carbon nanotube to form a crystalized structure. The unconventional growth process requires nucleation on a curved surface and shell-by-shell extension, sparking interest in understanding the formation mechanism. Through comprehensive studies using TEM, edge structures and crystal relationships are identified, revealing the importance of surface cleanliness and isolation for perfect 1D heterostructure formation. The correlation between the SWCNT template and BNNT crystals is also elucidated, providing insights into crystal growth on highly curved atomic substrates.

Strain-gated nonlinear Hall effect in two-dimensional MoSe2/WSe2 van der Waals heterostructure

Hao Jin et al.

Summary: The study systematically investigates the nonlinear electric response in 1T'-phase MoSe2/WSe2 vdW heterostructure, revealing its large Berry curvature dipole and sensitivity to applied strain. The nonlinear Hall response in vdW heterostructure can be effectively manipulated and understood through charge transfer mechanisms within the interlayer region. These findings provide a fundamental understanding of the strain-gated nonlinear Hall effect in vdW heterostructures, which may offer insights for the design of novel high-frequency nanodevices.
