Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are atomically thin materials that, when stacked together, create a moiré lattice where the existence of flat bands has been predicted and observed. Hence, a plethora of phenomena related to electronic correlations such as superconductivity, topological non-trivial effects or Mott insulating phases can be observed in these synthetic materials.
In this research, we fabricate the materials and observe their electronic properties using a scanning tunnelling microscope.
