Simulating Condensed Matter Physics in Semiconductor Moiré Materials


Dr. Kin Fai Mak

Cornell University



Abstract: The discovery of moiré materials has enabled the studies of condensed matter physics in a simpler and more controllable fashion. To a good approximation, the system can be regarded as a lattice of tunable artificial atoms, bridging the gap between real solid-state materials and cold atom quantum simulators. In this talk, I discuss how semiconductor moiré materials can 'simulate' a rich set of condensed matter phenomena by simply adjusting the gate voltages in a field-effect device structure. In particular, I will highlight the realization of the Hubbard model, Chern bands and the Kondo lattice model.
