Strongly Interacting Electrons In Synthetic Superlattices
Exploring The Dynamics Of Moiré Patternsmoiré Structures Emerge From Interference, Specifically When Two System Layers Overlap And Rotate At A Certain Angle, For Example Atoms In A Crystal Material. Funded By The European Research Council, The Siess Project Aims To Develop Theoretical Models To Elucidate Strong Correlation And Superconductivity Observed In Moiré Superlattice Systems. Numerical Simulations Will Guide These Models, With A Broader Goal Of Enhancing Understanding Of Other Strongly Correlated Electron Materials. Researchers Will Explore The Nature Of Broken-Symmetry Orders In Different Moiré Materials, The Origin Of Superconductivity In Carbon-Based Moiré Materials And The Potential Realisation Of Exotic Fractionalised Metals In Moiré Materials. Project Results Will Help Guide Future Experiments And Potentially Lead To The Experimental Observation Of Spin Liquids In Moiré Systems.
