Forget graphene: More exotic moiré physics with TMDs
The recent revolution in moiré materials started with the discovery of correlated insulators and superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene. I will show that much stronger electron correlations appear in moiré bilayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). After introducing the origin of flat bands in TMD moirés (including ARPES results), I will discuss theoretical predictions for a range of exotic phenomena: the amorphous Wigner-Mott electron slush; the 3/4 chiral spin liquid; and metal-insulator criticality.
