Moiré flat band

A moiré flat band is a nearly flat electronic band formed when two atomically thin crystal layers are stacked with a small twist angle, making electron interactions dominant.

The moiré Hubbard model is a lattice model of interacting electrons on triangular moiré lattices in twisted semiconductor bilayers, generalizing the Hubbard model with strong, tunable spin-orbit coupling.

Moiré Hubbard model simulations in twisted TMD homobilayers

Moiré Hubbard model simulations in twisted TMD homobilayers use methods like DMFT and DMRG to predict Mott transitions and superconductivity in twisted WSe2 and MoTe2, checked against experiment.

Moiré interferometry

Moiré interferometry is a high-sensitivity optical method for measuring in-plane displacement and strain on a specimen surface, applied to composite materials, fracture mechanics, biomechanics, and deformation of electronic packages.

Moiré magnetism

Moiré magnetism is the study of magnetic phases that arise when a moiré pattern, formed by twisted or lattice-mismatched 2D layers, modifies magnetism in materials such as CrI3 and graphene.

Moiré materials

Moiré materials are artificial quantum materials built by twisting stacked atomically thin crystals, creating a moiré superlattice whose flat bands host superconductivity and topological states.

Moiré mechanical metamaterials

Moiré mechanical metamaterials are engineered materials whose elastic, acoustic, or flexural wave properties are controlled by a moiré superlattice, with twist angle acting as a continuous tuning knob for flat bands and wave localization.

Moiré metamaterials

Moiré metamaterials are artificial periodic structures in which slightly misaligned lattices form a long-range moiré superlattice, extending flatband physics from twisted graphene to photonics and acoustics.

Moiré Mott insulator

A moiré Mott insulator is a Mott insulating state in moiré materials, where flat bands from twisted atomically thin layers make Coulomb repulsion dominate over kinetic energy.

Moiré pattern

A moiré pattern, or moiré effect, is a large-scale interference pattern that appears when two repetitive structures, such as line gratings or grids, overlap with slightly different spacing or alignment.

Moiré photonics

Moiré photonics is the branch of optics in which twisted or mismatched periodic photonic lattices create long-wavelength superstructures used to engineer optical bands and localize light.

Moiré quantum simulation

Moiré quantum simulation uses stacked and twisted two-dimensional materials, whose moiré interference pattern forms an artificial lattice, to simulate strongly correlated quantum models such as the Hubbard model.

Moiré quantum simulator

A moiré quantum simulator is a stack of twisted or lattice-mismatched atomically thin crystals whose moiré superlattice acts as a solid-state analog computer for the Hubbard model.

Moiré superconductivity

Moiré superconductivity is superconductivity arising when two-dimensional materials are stacked with small twist angles, creating flat electronic bands; it was first demonstrated in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene in 2018.

Moiré superlattice

A moiré superlattice is a long-wavelength periodic structure formed when two atomically thin layers are stacked with a small twist angle or slight lattice mismatch, studied in twistronics.

Moiré superlattices in twisted bilayer graphene

A moiré superlattice in twisted bilayer graphene is the long-wavelength periodic structure formed when two graphene layers are stacked at a small twist angle of about a degree.

Moire Topography

Moire topography (Moiré topography, shadow and projection moiré) is a radiation-free optical 3D morphometry method using interference fringes, used since 1970 mainly for scoliosis screening; moderate evidence supports reliability but not superiority over radiography.
