Title

Why is Moiré Different? And Other Tales in Two Dimensions

Abstract

The ability to isolate individual atomically thin layers and engineer them into heterostructures held together by van der Waals forces have ushered in a new era of two-dimensional materials. Activity in the field has been spurred greatly by the discovery of gate-tunable superconductivity in moiré heterostructures of graphene twisted to a “magic angle” of approximately 1 degree. In this talk, I will illustrate how graphene and other moiré materials are driving us to revisit and update our understanding of the interplay of topology, superconductivity, and electron correlations in low dimensions and may serve as a platform for new states of matter with unconventional excitations.
