Heterostructures and moirés

Atomically thin 2D materials can be integrated into van der Waals heterostructures, offering a powerful platform for engineering quantum materials with atomically precise thickness and sharp interfaces across macroscopic scales. This combination enables exceptional material properties that are difficult to achieve with conventional methods.

2D materials span a vast range of electronic characteristics—including metals, semiconductors, insulators, and superconductors—often surpassing traditional materials in performance. Their versatility allows for nearly limitless combinations, enabling the creation of diverse heterostructures that would be otherwise unattainable through direct growth techniques.

We’ve developed a suite of in-house capabilities to make and study these van der Waals heterostructures, enabling us to push the boundaries of what is possible in quantum materials research.
