Twisted van der Waals materials have become a paradigmatic platform to realize exotic correlated states of matter. Here, we show that a twisted dichalcogenide bilayer (WSe$_2$) encapsulated between a magnetic van der Waals material (CrBr$_3$) features flat bands with tunable valley and spin flavors. We demonstrate that, when electron-electron interactions are included, spin-ferromagnetic and valley-ferromagnetic states emerge in the flat bands, stemming from the interplay between correlations, intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and exchange proximity effects. We show that the specific symmetry broken state is controlled by the relative alignment of the magnetization of the encapsulation, demonstrating the emergence of correlated states controlled by exchange bias. Our results put forward a new van der Waals heterostructure where symmetry broken states emerge from a genuine interplay between twist engineering, spin-orbit coupling and exchange proximity, providing a powerful starting point to explore exotic collective states of matter.

Janus dichalcogenide multilayers provide a paradigmatic platform to engineer electronic phenomena dominated by spin-orbit coupling. Their unique spin-orbit effects stem from local mirror symmetry breaking in each layer, which induces a colossal Rashb
a spin-orbit effect in comparison with the conventional dichalcogenide counterparts. Here we put forward twisted dichalcogenide bilayers as a simple platform to realize spin-orbit correlated states. We demonstrate the emergence of flat bands featuring strong spin-momentum locking and the emergence of non-collinear symmetry broken states when interactions are included. We further show that the symmetry broken states can be controlled by means of a magnetic substrate, strongly impacting the non-collinear magnetic texture of the moire unit cell. Our results put forward twisted Janus multilayers as a powerful platform to explore spin-orbit correlated physics, and highlighting the versatility of magnetic substrates to control unconventional moire magnetism.
Heavy fermion systems represent one of the paradigmatic strongly correlated states of matter. They have been used as a platform for investigating exotic behavior ranging from quantum criticality and non-Fermi liquid behavior to unconventional topolog
ical superconductivity. Heavy fermions arise from the exchange interaction between localized magnetic moments and conduction electrons that leads to the well-known Kondo effect. In a Kondo lattice, the interaction between the localized moments gives rise to a band with heavy effective mass. This intriguing phenomenology has so far only been realized in compounds containing rare-earth elements with 4f or 5f electrons. Here, we realize a designer van der Waals heterostructure where artificial heavy fermions emerge from the Kondo coupling between a lattice of localized magnetic moments and itinerant electrons in a 1T/1H-TaS$_2$ heterostructure. We study the heterostructure using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) and show that depending on the stacking order of the monolayers, we can either reveal the localized magnetic moments and the associated Kondo effect, or the conduction electrons with a heavy-fermion hybridization gap. Our experiments realize an ultimately tuneable platform for future experiments probing enhanced many-body correlations, dimensional tuning of quantum criticality, and unconventional superconductivity in two-dimensional artificial heavy-fermion systems.
Magnetic skyrmions in 2D chiral magnets are in general stabilized by a combination of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and external magnetic field. Here, we show that skyrmions can also be stabilized in twisted moire superlattices in the absence of
an external magnetic field. Our setup consists of a 2D ferromagnetic layer twisted on top of an antiferromagnetic substrate. The coupling between the ferromagnetic layer and the substrate generates an effective alternating exchange field. We find a large region of skyrmion crystal phase when the length scales of the moire periodicity and skyrmions are compatible. Unlike chiral magnets under magnetic field, skyrmions in moire superlattices show enhanced stability for the easy-axis (Ising) anisotropy which can be essential to realize skyrmions since most van der Waals magnets possess easy-axis anisotropy.
The van der Waals heterostructures are a fertile frontier for discovering emergent phenomena in condensed matter systems. They are constructed by stacking elements of a large library of two-dimensional materials, which couple together through van der
Waals interactions. However, the number of possible combinations within this library is staggering, and fully exploring their potential is a daunting task. Here we introduce van der Waals metamaterials to rapidly prototype and screen their quantum counterparts. These layered metamaterials are designed to reshape the flow of ultrasound to mimic electron motion. In particular, we show how to construct analogues of all stacking configurations of bilayer and trilayer graphene through the use of interlayer membranes that emulate van der Waals interactions. By changing the membranes density and thickness, we reach coupling regimes far beyond that of conventional graphene. We anticipate that van der Waals metamaterials will explore, extend, and inform future electronic devices. Equally, they allow the transfer of useful electronic behavior to acoustic systems, such as flat bands in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, which may aid the development of super-resolution ultrasound imagers.
We study direct and indirect magnetoexcitons in Rydberg states in monolayers and heterostructures of transition-metal dichalcogenices (TMDCs) in an external magnetic field, applied perpendicular to the monolayer or heterostructures. We calculate bind
ing energies of magnetoexcitons for the Rydberg states 1$s$, 2$s$, 3$s$, and 4$s$ by numerical integration of the Schr{o}dinger equation using the Rytova-Keldysh potential for direct magnetoexcitons and both the Rytova-Keldysh and Coulomb potentials for indirect magnetoexcitons. Latter allows understanding the role of screening in TMDCs heterostructures. We report the magnetic field energy contribution to the binding energies and diamagnetic coefficients (DMCs) for direct and indirect magnetoexcitons. The tunability of the energy contribution of direct and indirect magnetoexcitons by the magnetic field is demonstrated. It is shown that binding energies and DMCs of indirect magnetoexcitons can be manipulated by the number of hBN layers. Therefore, our study raises the possibility of controlling the binding energies of direct and indirect magnetostrictions in TMDC monolayers, bilayers and heterostructures using magnetic field and opens an additional degree of freedom to tailor the binding energies and DMCs for heterostructures by varying the number of hBN sheets between TMDC layers. The calculations of the binding energies and DMCs of indirect magnetoexcitons in TMDC heterostructures are novel and can be compared with the experimental results when they will be available.
