Highly Tunable Moiré Superlattice Potentials in Twisted Hexagonal Boron Nitrides (Adv. Sci. 4/2025)

Moiré Superlattice Moiré superlattice of twisted hBN is a promising quantum simulation platform which controls the adjacent materials by proximity effect. Therefore, the precise control of Moiré potential became one of the most important issues to enhance the tunability of the system. Article number 2408034 by Young Duck Kim and co-workers involves controlling the Moiré potential with a deep UV pulse laser. Even the twist angle between two hBN layers is already fixed, the periodic potential is easily programmable by deep UV pulse laser. Thus, the cover shows the future integrated circuit using the Moiré superlattice system and the atomic structure of twisted hBN controlled by a pulse laser. The authors strongly believe this research will pave the way to develop future Moiré quantum platforms which can be precisely controllable by pulse laser.
