“…2(d). This perfectly explains the recent experiment in gate-controlled graphene-CrOCl heterostructure, in which the Fermi velocity around CNP is significantly enhanced compared to noninteracting value at slight carrier doping, such that robust quantum Hall effect can be observed under tiny vertical magnetic fields (∼ 0.1 T) and high temperatures [19]. We note that the EC state may be stabilized by vertical magnetic fields even when the carrier density in the substrate exceeds the zero-field threshold value [43,44], which in turn boosts the low-field, high-temperature quantum Hall effect in the graphene layer due to the scenario discussed above.…”

“…Especially, how the mutual couplings would affect the interacting electronic states in both systems. Inspired by recent pioneering experiments in CrOCl-graphene [19], 1T-TaS 2 -graphene [20], and CrI 3 -graphene [21] heterostructures, here we propose that such a scenario (of interacting Dirac fermions coupled with the correlated electrons in charge doped TMO/TMC insulators) can be realized in graphene-insulator heterostructures with gate tunable band alignment. In this work, we show that, by virtue of the interlayer Coulomb coupling between the interacting electrons in the two layers, intriguing correlated physics that cannot be seen in either individual layer would emerge in a cooperative and synergistic manner in such band-aligned graphene-insulator heterostructures.…”

In this work, we study the synergistic correlated states in two distinct types of interacting electronic systems coupled by interlayer Coulomb interactions. We propose that this scenario can be realized in a new type of Coulomb-coupled graphene-insulator heterostructures with gate tunable band alignment. We find that, by virtue of the interlayer Coulomb coupling between the interacting electrons in the two layers, intriguing correlated physics that is not seen in either individual layer emerges in a cooperative and synergistic manner. Specifically, as a result of the band alignment, charge carriers can be transferred between graphene and the substrate under the control of gate voltages, which can yield a long-wavelength electronic crystal at the surface of the substrate. This electronic crystal exerts a superlattice Coulomb potential on the Dirac electrons in graphene, which generates subbands with reduced non-interacting Fermi velocity. As a result, $e$-$e$ Coulomb interactions within graphene would play a more important role, giving rise to a gapped Dirac state at the charge neutrality point, accompanied by interaction-enhanced Fermi velocity. Moreover, the superlattice potential can give rise to topologically nontrivial subband structures which are tunable by superlattice's constant and anisotropy. Reciprocally, the electronic crystal formed in the substrate can be substantially stabilized in such coupled bilayer heterostructure by virtue of the cooperative interlayer Coulomb coupling. We further perform high-throughput first principles calculations to identify a number of promising insulating materials as candidate substrates for graphene to demonstrate these effects. Our findings provide new insights into the physics of correlated and topological electronic states in graphene-based heterostructures.

In this review, we discuss the electronic structures, topological properties, correlated states, nonlinear optical responses, as well as phonon and electron-phonon coupling effects of moiré graphene superlattices. First, we illustrate that topologically non-trivial flat bands and moiré orbital magnetism are ubiquitous in various twisted graphene systems. In particular, the topological flat bands of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can be explained from a zeroth pseudo-Landau-level picture, which can naturally explain the experimentally observed quantum anomalous Hall effect and some of the other correlated states. These topologically nontrivial flat bands may lead to nearly quantized piezoelectric response, which can be used to directly probe the valley Chern numbers in these moiré graphene systems. A simple and general chiral decomposition rule is reviewed and discussed, which can be used to predict the low-energy band dispersions of generic twisted mulilayer graphene system and alternating twisted multilayer graphene system. This review further discusses nontrivial interaction effects of magic-angle TBG such as the correlated insulator states, density wave states, cascade transitions, and nematic states, and proposes nonlinear optical measurement as an experimental probe to distinguish the different "featureless" correlated states.The phonon properties and electron-phonon coupling effects are also briefly reviewed. The novel physics emerging from band-aligned graphene-insulator heterostructres is also discussed in this review. In the end, we make a summary and an outlook about the novel physical properties of moiré superlattices, two-dimensional materials, moiré superlattices－ two dimensional materials.

Spintronic devices require materials that facilitate effective spin transport, generation, and detection. In this regard, graphene emerges as an ideal candidate for long‐distance spin transport owing to its minimal spin‐orbit coupling, which, however, limits its capacity for effective spin manipulation. This problem can be overcome by putting spin‐orbit coupling materials in close contact with graphene leading to spin‐orbit proximity and, consequently, efficient spin‐to‐charge conversion through mechanisms such as the spin Hall effect. Here, the gate‐dependent spin Hall effect in trilayer graphene proximitized with tin sulfide (SnS) is reported and quantified, a group‐IV monochalcogenide that has recently been predicted to be a viable alternative to transition‐metal dichalcogenides for inducing strong spin‐orbit coupling in graphene. The spin Hall angle exhibits a maximum around the charge neutrality point of graphene up to room temperature. The findings expand the library of materials that induce spin‐orbit coupling in graphene to a new class, group‐IV monochalcogenides, thereby highlighting the potential of 2D materials to pave the way for the development of innovative spin‐based devices and future technological applications.
