Polarization-driven band topology evolution in twisted MoTe_2 and WSe_2
arxiv(2023)
摘要
Motivated by recent experimental observations of opposite Chern numbers in
R-type twisted MoTe_2 and WSe_2 homobilayers, we perform large-scale
density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations with machine learning force fields
to investigate moiré band topology from large to small twist angels in both
materials. We find that the Chern numbers of the moiré frontier bands change
sign as a function of twist angle, and this change is driven by the competition
between the in-plane piezoelectricity and the out-of-plane ferroelectricity.
Our large-scale calculations, enabled by machine learning methods, reveal
crucial insights into interactions across different scales in twisted bilayer
systems. The interplay between atomic-level relaxation effects and
moiré-scale electrostatic potential variation opens new avenues for the
design of intertwined topological and correlated states.
