Straintronic control of correlations in twisted van der Waals heterostructures
Correlations and topology are the cornerstones of modern condensed matter physics, and their coexistence is believed to lead to novel quantum electronic devices with built-in information protection. In the landmark discoveries of previous years it has been found that in 2D materials placed on top of each other at a magic rotation angle, correlated phases appear. In contrast to high-Tc materials, in twisted van der Waals materials correlation effects are coupled with topology and thanks to their gate tuneability the exploration of their phase diagram takes only days instead of years. This has led to the discovery of a multitude of correlated phases including correlated insulators, orbital…
