Using a tight-binding lattice model, we show that the longitudinal and transverse conductances exhibit significant valley polarization in the low energy regime for small twist angles. As the twist angle increases, the valley polarization shifts to the high energy regime. This arises from the regrouping effect of the electron band in the twisted bilayer graphene region. But for relatively large twist angles, no significant valley polarization is observed. These results are consistent with the spectral densities of the twisted bilayer graphene.展开更多

We identify that the top two phonon bands entangle with each other, forming two straight Weyl nodal lines on the K–H and K′–H′paths at the Brillouin zone(BZ) boundary,and six twisted Weyl nodal lines within the BZ. All the Weyl nodal lines along the kz direction and across the entire BZ.The symmetry analysis indicates that these Weyl nodal lines are protected by the PT symmetry and crystal symmetry. The Berry phase and drumhead-like nontrivial surface states are calculated. We also construct a tight-binding model to describe these nodal lines. Our work provides an excellent material platform for exploring the fascinating physics associated with straight and twisted Weyl nodal line phonons.展开更多

文摘Optical fine-tunable layer-hybridized Moiréexcitons are highly in demand for emerging many-body states in two-dimensional semiconductors.We report naturally confined layer-hybridized bright Moiréexcitons with long lifetimes in twisted hexagonal GaTe bilayers,using ab initio many-body perturbation theory and the Bethe–Salpeter equation.Due to the hybridization of electrons and holes between layers,which enhances the brightness of excitons,the twisted bilayer system becomes attractive for optical applications.We find that in both R and H-type stacking Moirésuperlattices,more than 200 meV lateral quantum confinements occur on exciton energies,which results in two scenarios:(1)The ground state bright excitons XA are found to be trapped at two high-symmetry points,with opposite electric dipoles in the R-stacking Moirésupercell,forming a honeycomb superlattice of nearest-neighbor dipolar attraction.(2)For H-stacking case,the XA is found to be trapped at only one high-symmetry point exhibiting a triangular superlattice.Our results suggest that twisted h-GaTe bilayer is one of the promising systems for optical fine-tunable excitonic devices and provide an ideal platform for realizing strong correlated Bose–Hubbard physics.

文摘Twisted bilayer graphene heterostructures have recently emerged as a well-established platform for studying strongly correlated phases,such as correlated insulating,superconducting,and topological states.Extending this notion to twisted multilayer graphene heterostructures has exhibited more diverse correlated phases,as some fundamental properties related to symmetry and band structures are correspondingly modified.Here,we report the observations of correlated states in twisted monolayer-trilayer(Bernal stacked)graphene heterostructures.Correlated phases at integer fillings of the moire unit cell are revealed at a high displacement field and stabilized with a moderate magnetic field on the electron-doping side at a twist angle of 1.45°,where the lift of degeneracy at the integer fillings is observed in the Landau fan diagram.Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of moire engineering in an extended structure and provide insights into electric-field tunable correlated phases.

文摘Flat-band physics of moirésuperlattices,originally discovered in the celebrated twisted bilayer graphene,have recently been intensively explored in multilayer graphene systems that can be further controlled by electric field.In this work,we experimentally find the evidence of correlated insulators at half filling of the electron moiréband of twisted monolayer–trilayer graphene with a twist angle around 1.2°.Van Hove singularity(VHS),manifested as enhanced resistance and zero Hall voltage,is observed to be distinct in conduction and valence flat bands.It also depends on the direction and magnitude of the displacement fields,consistent with the asymmetric crystal structure.While the resistance ridges at VHS can be enhanced by magnetic fields,when they cross commensurate fillings of the moirésuperlattice in the conduction band,the enhancement is so strong that signatures of correlated insulator appear,which may further develop into an energy gap depending on the correlation strength.At last,Fermi velocity derived from temperature coefficients of resistivity is compared between conduction and valence bands with different displacement fields.It is found that electronic correlation has a negative dependence on the Fermi velocity,which in turn could be used to quantify the correlation strength.
文摘The thermal behavior of pipes with a twisted tape inside(used to enhance heat transfer through the tube wall)is studied in the laminar flow regime.Oil is used as the work fluid with the corresponding Reynolds Number spanning the interval 200–2000.It is found that in such conditions the‘Nusselt Number’(Nu)gradually increases with reducing the tape twist ratio,whereas the friction factor is detrimentally affected by the presence of the tape(as witnessed by the comparison with the companion case where a plain tube is considered).In particular,it is shown that the heat transfer efficiency can be improved by nearly 69%if tape inserts with a relatively low twist ratio are used.On the basis of these findings,it is concluded that loose fit tape inserts are superior to tight fit tapes in terms of heat transfer and ease of replacement.
文摘The thermo-hydraulic properties of circular tubes with a twisted tape inside(used accordingly to induce turbulence and enhance heat transfer through the tube wall)are described for Reynolds Numbers ranging from 830 to 1990.Tapes twisted with the three distinct twist ratios are considered,namely,6,4.4 and 3.Air is used as the working fluid in several tests.For the sake of comparison,the standard tube with no insert is also examined.It is shown that in the presence of the twisted tape,the‘frictional factor’,‘Nusselt Number’and the‘thermal performance factor’are much higher than those obtained for the plain tube.Moreover,the tapes having the lowest twist ratio,i.e.,3,are more effective than the others in terms of heat transfer augmentation.The‘thermal performance factor’is greater than one for all the twisted tapes used in the experiments,which confirms the enhanced performances of the heat exchanger and the related savings in terms of total energy.

文摘Valley Nernst effect is a newly proposed and experimentally confirmed effect,which could be used to design novel thermoelectric devices.We study the valley Nernst effect in(M+N)-layer twisted multilayer graphene systems by a simple low-energy effective model.It is found that the total valley Nernst coefficient(VNC)is three orders of magnitude larger than that in monolayer group-Ⅵdichalcogenides.The total VNC increases with the increase of layer numbers.It is shown that the total VNC exhibits a structure with three peaks as a function of the Fermi energy.We identify that the central peak is always negative stemming from the flat band.Two shoulder peaks are positively induced by the conduction and valence bands,respectively.These predicted features can be tested experimentally.The present work would shed more light on valley caloritronics.
