Dynamic Twistronic Materials (TWIST)

Key question: Can we dynamically change the properties of twisted bilayer 2D materials by using an electro-chemomechanical (ECM) gate to modify the twisting angle?

Key result: We develop a device based on an electrostrictor, i.e., the ECM-gate, modulating the rotation angle giving rise to new materials’ properties.

Key impact: Our platform, comprising a synergy of simulations and experiments, enable an accelerated design of new twistronic devices for a variety of applications, including superconductors, magnets, and ferroelectrics.
