Here we investigate how charge density waves (CDW), inherent to a monolayer, are effected by creating twisted van der Waals structures. Homobilayers of metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), at small twist angles where there is significant atomic reconstruction, are utilised as an example to investigate the interplay between the moiré domain structure and CDWs of different periods. For $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ CDWs, there is no geometric constraint to prevent the CDWs from propagating throughout the moiré structure. Whereas for $2\times2$ CDWs, to ensure the CDWs in each layer have the most favourable interactions in the domains, the CDW phase must be destroyed in the connecting domain walls. For $3\times3$ CDWs with twist angles close to 180 degree, moiré-scale triangular structures can form; while close to 0 degree, moiré-scale dimer domains occur. The star-of-David CDW ($\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$) is found to host CDWs in the domains only, since there is one low energy stacking configuration, similar to $2\times2$ CDWs. These predictions are offered for experimental verification in twisted bilayer metallic TMDs which host CDWs, and we hope this will stimulate further research on the interplay between the moiré supperlattice and CDW phases intrinsic to the comprising 2D materials.

One-dimensional moire charge density wave in the hidden order state of URu2Si2 induced by fracture
当在两个原子晶格之间形成时,莫尔图案可以导致全新的电子行为。然而,固体的特征不仅在于原子晶格,而且还在于不需要与晶格相称的电荷或磁激发。这就提出了一个问题,如果人们可以通过结合周期性的电子调制和原子晶格来获得莫尔条纹。在这里,我们报告的一维电荷密度波(1D-CDW)的发现,这是一个原子晶格之间的莫尔图案和电子散射的热点在能带结构的隐藏顺序(HO)状态的URu $_2$ Si $_2$。莫尔条纹是通过在低温下使晶体破裂而产生的。我们的研究结果表明,电荷相互作用是URu $_2$ Si $_2$中与HO竞争的最相关的特征之一。
Quantum spin Hall effect from multi-scale band inversion in twisted bilayer Bi$_2$(Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$)$_3$
莫尔材料由于其高度的可调谐性而成为近年来材料科学中最活跃的领域之一,其独特的性质源于莫尔尺度结构调制。在这里,我们提出了扭曲双层$_2$(Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$)$_3$作为一种新的莫尔材料,其中莫尔尺度调制诱导拓扑相变。我们发现,在扭曲双层Bi $_2$(Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$)$_3$,一个拓扑绝缘体域和一个正常的绝缘体域共存的莫尔晶格结构,域边界上的边缘状态,使几乎平坦的带,占主导地位的材料性能。边缘状态进一步有助于莫尔尺度带反转,导致莫尔尺度拓扑状态。存在相应的莫尔尺度边缘状态,并且它们可以说是“边缘状态的边缘状态”,这是扭曲双层Bi $_2$(Te $_{1-x}$ Se $_x$)$_3$的独特特征。我们的研究结果不仅提出了扭曲双层Bi $_2$ Te $_3$ -族中新的量子相,而且表明堆叠敏感拓扑材料的扭曲为寻找新的量子材料和器件铺平了道路。
