Quantum Transport in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers and Twisted Bilayers

Invited

Abstract

This presentation will review our recent progress in studies of the magneto-transport properties of transition metal dichalcogenides. This work utilizes materials exfoliated from ultrahigh-purity single crystals grown by a flux synthesis technique, and encapsulation by h-BN to minimize external disorder. Ohmic contacts are achieved by work function control and dual-gating. These samples are studied in high magnetic fields by a combination of electrical transport measurements and probing the density of states using capacitance. I will describe a number of systems studied in this way, including WSe2 monolayers, bilayers, and bilayers with small interlayer twist angles. In addition, recent studies of semiconducting and metallic forms MoTe2 will be described.
