Abstract:Moiré superlattice systems such as transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers have garnered significant recent interest due to their promising utility as tunable solid state simulators. Recent experiments on a WSe2/WS2 heterobilayer detected incompressible charge ordered states that one can view as generalized Wigner crystals. The tunability of the hetero-TMD Moiré system presents an opportunity to study the rich set of possible phases upon melting these charge-ordered states.Here we use Monte Carlo simula… Show more
