Phys.org  June 15, 2023 Moiré superlattices of two-dimensional heterostructures arose as a new platform to investigate emergent behaviour in quantum solids with unprecedented tunability. To glean insights into the physics of these systems, it is paramount to discover new probes of the moiré potential and moiré minibands, as well as their dependence on external tuning parameters. Hydrostatic pressure is a powerful control parameter since it allows to continuously and reversibly enhance the moiré potential. An international team of researchers (USA – MIT, Mexico) used high pressure to tune the minibands in a rotationally aligned MoS2/WSe2 moiré heterostructure and showed that […]
