The reduced symmetry in strong spin-orbit coupling materials such as transition metal ditellurides (TMDTs) gives rise to non-trivial topology, unique spin texture, and large charge-to-spin conversion efficiencies. Bilayer TMDTs are non-centrosymmetric have topological properties compared monolayer or trilayer, but a controllable way prepare bilayer MoTe2 crystal has not been achieved date. Herein, we achieve the layer-by-layer growth of large-area trilayer 1T' single crystals...
The authors report here the discovery of a realistic platform for emerging non-Abelian fractional quantum anomalous Hall states. This is second moir\'e band in 2-degree twisted bilayer MoTe${}_{2}$. They elucidate theoretical foundation behind this by demonstrating resemblance to first Landau level, using Haldane pseudopotentials and Fubini-Study metric. A surprising similarity revealed between sequence bands MoTe${}_{2}$ levels beyond particular band.
We studied the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) of two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure CrI3/In2Se3/CrI3 using density functional theory calculations and symmetry analysis. The spontaneous polarization in In2Se3 ferroelectric layer antiferromagnetic ordering CrI3 layers break mirror time-reversal symmetry, thus activating MOKE. show that angle can be reversed by either or order parameter. Our results suggest 2D heterostructures could exploited for ultracompact information storage devices,...
The interlayer van der Waals interaction in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) induces both in-plane and out-of-plane atomic displacements showing complex patterns that depend on the twist angle. In particular, for small angles, within each layer, relaxations give rise to a vortexlike displacement pattern which is known affect dispersion of flat bands. Here, we focus yet another structural property, chirality bilayer. We perform first-principles calculations based density functional theory...

Twisting in bilayers introduces structural chirality with two enantiomers, i.e., left- and right-hand bilayers, depending on the oriented twist angle. The interplay between this global additional degrees of freedom, such as magnetic ordering local octahedral arising from geometry bonds, can yield striking phenomena. In work, we focus collinear antiferromagnetic CrI$_3$ twisted homo-bilayers, which are characterized by a staggered each monolayer. Using symmetry analysis, density functional...
Imposing incommensurable periodicity on the periodic atomic lattice can lead to complex structural phases consisting of locally structure bounded by topological defects. Twisted trilayer graphene (TTG) is an ideal material platform study interplay between different periodicities, which be tuned twist angles layers, leading moir\'e-of-moir\'e lattices. Interlayer and intralayer interactions two interfaces in TTG transform this into intricate network domain structures at small angles, harbor...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess a hybrid nature, combining the inorganic properties from metal ions and organic molecular linkers. Stroppa, \textit{et al.}, showed that perovskite-type MOF [C(NH$_2$)$_3$]M[(HCOO)$_3$] (M = Cr, Cu) exhibits magneto-electric coupled multiferroicity [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50, 5847 (2011) Adv.
