Award provides a five-year, $1.35 million grant to explore collective quantum behavior in 2D materials

Technology reported in UC Riverside-led study has nanoelectronic applications

When two similar atomic layers with mismatching lattice constants — the constant distance between a layer’s unit cells — and/or orientation are stacked together, the resulting bilayer can exhibit a moiré pattern and form a moiré superlattice. Moiré patterns are interference patterns that typically arise when one object with a...
