报告摘要：
In recent years, the moirè superlattices formed with twisted homo- or hetero-bilayer of graphene or TMDCs have been investigated intensively. Such moiré bilayers provide us with a class of designed nanomaterials that possess novel electronic properties, including flat energy bands and heavy fermions. These moiré structures can exhibit metal-insulator transition, superconductivity and topological insulators. The moiré structures constructed from the exfoliated atomic layers, however, have certain limitations that severely hinder their further development and applications in nano-electronics and photonics. To expand the family of such electronic systems, we are investigating the moirè superlattices formed with atomic overlayers epitaxially grown on suitable crystalline substrates. To realize the epitaxial moirè structures, the atomic layer and the substrate should have a lateral period mismatch of about 5-10%; the interfacial binding strength should be in the van der Waals range; then the electronic states of the overlayer are perturbed with a moderate moiré periodic potential. Such epitaxial moiré systems offer certain advantages over those twisted bilayers made of exfoliated layers in terms of accessible material and electronic parameter ranges, sample quality and practical device mass production. Possible candidates of such epitaxial moiré system we have explored include Group-VA (P, As, Sb and Bi) atomic layers on Group IV-VI or other bulk crystals. The exploration can be extended to a much broad range of overlayers and substrates. The possibility of tuning the interfacial coupling strength will be demonstrated and discussed.
