VAN DER WAALS HETEROSTRUCTURES

Flatland, lineland and dotland

Nature Materials volume 19, pages 1044–1045 (2020)Cite this article

Subjects

Correlated real-space imaging and optical measurements of twisted MoSe2/WSe2 bilayers reveal strain-induced modulations of the moiré potential landscape, tuning arrays of 0D traps into 1D stripes and leading to substantial changes in the optical response of the heterostructures.
