Moire systems provide a rich platform for studies of strong correlation physics. Recent experiments on hetero-bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) Moire systems are exciting in that they manifest a relatively simple model system of an extended Hubbard model on a triangular lattice. Inspired by the prospect of the hetero-TMD Moire systems potential as a solid-state-based quantum simulator, we explore the extended Hubbard model on the triangular lattice using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). Specifically, we explore the two-dimensional phase space of the kinetic energy relative to the interaction strength $t/U$ and the further-range interaction strength $V_1/U$. We find competition between Fermi fluid, chiral spin liquid, spin density wave, and charge density wave. In particular, our finding of the optimal further-range interaction for the chiral correlation presents a tantalizing possibility.

Small-twist-angle transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers develop isolated flat moire bands that are approximately described by triangular lattice generalized Hubbard models [PhysRevLett.121.026402]. In this article we explore the metall ic and insulating states that appear under different control conditions at a density of one-electron per moire period, and the transitions between them. By combining fully self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory calculations with strong-coupling expansions around the atomic limit, we identify four different magnetic states and one nonmagnetic state near the model phase diagrams metal-insulator phase-transition line. Ferromagnetic insulating states, stabilized by non-local direct exchange interactions, are surprisingly prominent.
We develop a minimal theory for the recently observed metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two-dimensional (2D) moire multilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (mTMD) using Coulomb disorder in the environment as the underlying mechanism. In particul ar, carrier scattering by random charged impurities leads to an effective 2D MIT approximately controlled by the Ioffe-Regel criterion, which is qualitatively consistent with the experiments. We find the necessary disorder to be around $5$-$10times10^{10}$cm$^{-2}$ random charged impurities in order to quantitatively explain much, but not all, of the observed MIT phenomenology as reported by two different experimental groups. Our estimate is consistent with the known disorder content in TMDs.

The formation of interfacial moire patterns from angular and/or lattice mismatch has become a powerful approach to engineer a range of quantum phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures. For long-lived and valley-polarized interlayer excitons in tra nsition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterobilayers, signatures of quantum confinement by the moire landscape have been reported in recent experimental studies. Such moire confinement has offered the exciting possibility to tailor new excitonic systems, such as ordered arrays of zero-dimensional (0D) quantum emitters and their coupling into topological superlattices. A remarkable nature of the moire potential is its dramatic response to strain, where a small uniaxial strain can tune the array of quantum-dot-like 0D traps into parallel stripes of one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires. Here, we present direct evidence for the 1D moire potentials from real space imaging and the corresponding 1D moire excitons from photoluminescence (PL) emission in MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers. Whereas the 0D moire excitons display quantum emitter-like sharp PL peaks with circular polarization, the PL emission from 1D moire excitons has linear polarization and two orders of magnitude higher intensity. The results presented here establish strain engineering as a powerful new method to tailor moire potentials as well as their optical and electronic responses on demand.
Flexible long period moir e superlattices form in two-dimensional van der Waals crystals containing layers that differ slightly in lattice constant or orientation. In this Letter we show theoretically that isolated flat moir e bands described by gene ralized triangular lattice Hubbard models are present in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers. The hopping and interaction strength parameters of the Hubbard model can be tuned by varying the twist angle and the three-dimensional dielectric environment. When the flat moire bands are partially filled, candidate many-body ground states at some special filling factors include spin-liquid states, quantum anomalous Hall insulators and chiral $d$-wave superconductors.
Fabricating van der Waals (vdW) bilayer heterostructures (BL-HS) by stacking the same or different two-dimensional (2D) layers, offers a unique physical system with rich electronic and optical properties. Twist-angle between component layers has emer ged as a remarkable parameter that can control the period of lateral confinement, and nature of the exciton (Coulomb bound electron-hole pair) in reciprocal space thus creating exotic physical states including moire excitons. In this review article, we focus on opto-electronic properties of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor twisted BL-HS. We look at existing evidence of moire excitons in localized and strongly correlated states, and at nanoscale mapping of moire superlattice and lattice-reconstruction. This review will be helpful in guiding the community as well as motivating work in areas such as near-field optical measurements and controlling the creation of novel physical states.
