A Chiral Kondo Lattice in Doped Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Heterobilayers

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as a novel platform to stack and twist bilayers to engineer novel strongly correlated phases. Here we present a theory to describe the recent realization of a heavy fermion state in stacked MoTe2/WSe2 bilayers. It is shown that the hybridization function realizes a p-wave structure, which endows the system with non-trivial properties not easily accessible in solid-state heavy fermion compounds such as a Kondo temperature that is directly tunable via the density. Last, recent experiments in the dilute doping regime and the effects of interfacial disorder will be discussed.
