Quantum Matters Seminar By Kin Fai Mak - Semiconductor Moiré Materials

The discovery of moiré materials has enabled condensed matter experimentation in new regimes.

In this talk, Kin Fai Mak will discuss the general features of moiré materials built on 2D semiconductors, with a particular focus on the interplay between strong electronic correlations and non-trivial band topology.

Specifically, He will discuss how we can explore Hubbard physics and quantum Hall physics under zero magnetic field in these materials. The results may shed light on some of the deepest problems in condensed matter physics.
