چکیده
The moir\'e pattern observed in stacked non-commensurate crystal lattices, such as hetero-bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, produces a periodic modulation their bandgap. Excitons subjected to this potential landscape exhibit band structure that gives rise quasi-particle dubbed exciton. In the case MoS$_2$/WSe$_2$ hetero-bilayers, trapping has honeycomb symmetry and, consequently, exciton is same Dirac-Weyl fermion, whose mass can be further tuned down zero with perpendicularly applied field. Here we show that, analogously other Dirac-like particles, exhibits trembling motion, also known zitterbewegung, long timescales are compatible current experimental techniques for dynamics. This promotes study dynamics excitons van der Waals heterostructures an advantageous solid-state platform probe broadly tunable by gating and inter-layer twist angle.

Anomalous Light Cones and Valley Optical Selection Rules of Interlayer Excitons in Twisted Heterobilayers.
We show that, because of the inevitable twist and lattice mismatch in heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, interlayer excitons have sixfold degenerate light cones anomalously located at finite velocities on the parabolic energy dispersion. The photon emissions at each light cone are elliptically polarized, with the major axis locked to the direction of exciton velocity, and helic...
متن کاملUniversal classification of twisted, strained and sheared graphene moiré superlattices
Moiré superlattices in graphene supported on various substrates have opened a new avenue to engineer graphene's electronic properties. Yet, the exact crystallographic structure on which their band structure depends remains highly debated. In this scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study, we have analysed graphene samples grown on multilayer graphene prepared onto SiC an...
متن کاملMoiré excitons: From programmable quantum emitter arrays to spin-orbit–coupled artificial lattices
Highly uniform and ordered nanodot arrays are crucial for high-performance quantum optoelectronics, including new semiconductor lasers and single-photon emitters, and for synthesizing artificial lattices of interacting quasiparticles toward quantum information processing and simulation of many-body physics. Van der Waals heterostructures of two-dimensional semiconductors are naturally endowed w...
متن کاملTunable exciton funnel using Moiré superlattice in twisted van der Waals bilayer.
A spatially varying bandgap drives exciton motion and can be used to funnel energy within a solid (Nat. Photonics 2012, 6, 866-872). This bandgap modulation can be created by composition variation (traditional heterojunction), elastic strain, or in the work shown next, by a small twist between two identical semiconducting atomic sheets, creating an internal stacking translation u(r) that varies...
متن کاملEvidence for interlayer coupling and moiré periodic potentials in twisted bilayer graphene.
We report a study of the valence band dispersion of twisted bilayer graphene using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. We observe two noninteracting cones near the Dirac crossing energy and the emergence of van Hove singularities where the cones overlap for large twist angles (>5°). Besides the expected interaction between the Dirac cones, minigaps appeared at ...
