Moiré potential impedes interlayer exciton diffusion in van der Waals heterostructures

Moiré potential impedes interlayer exciton diffusion in van der Waals heterostructures

The properties of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are drastically altered by a tunable moir\'e superlattice arising from periodic variations of atomic alignment between the layers. Exciton diffusion represents an important channel of energy transport in semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). While early studies performed on TMD heterobilayers have suggested …
