Thesis title
Exploring Tunable Topological and Electronic Properties in 2D Moiré Heterostructure
Research overview
The emergence of moiré patterns in stacked van der Waals (vdW) multilayers has unveiled a promising avenue for tuning electronic properties through coupling effects. The alignment and structural mismatch in these layers induce long-wavelength moiré patterns, profoundly affecting the electron-electron interactions. The research will focus on the relationship between the electronic property modulation and the number of layers, especially in multiple layers and heterostructured moiré systems based on computational approaches with experiment validation which will contribute to understanding moiré superlattices in complex vdW systems and provide insights into tunable electronic states in multilayer materials.
