Charge density waves, layer by layer

Two-dimensional materials now form the basis for a broad and rich field of research bristling with exciting possible applications from photonics to quantum computing and leading to discoveries of new phenomena due to the high customizability of the materials systems and interactions within them.  Charge density waves form an emergent charge superlattice, whose properties and electronic states depend on interlayer interactions that can be manipulated. Here, I will describe our work in understanding and manipulating charge density waves in 2D materials.
