Twisted bilayer U(1) Dirac spin liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Zhu-Xi Luo, Urban F. P. Seifert, Leon Balents, , | Summary: When two layers of two-dimensional materials are assembled with a relative twist, moir’e patterns arise, inducing a tremendous wealth of exotic phenomena. In this work, we consider twisting two triangular lattices hosting Dirac quantum spin liquids. […]
