In a recently published article, Prof. Alberto de la Torre of the Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute and co-workers explore how spatial variations—such as twist angle misalignment, nanoscale disorder, and atomic relaxation—impact Moiré heterostructures and their excitonic properties. They highlight advanced characterization techniques like second harmonic generation, scanning near-field optical microscopy, and laser scanning tunneling microscopy, offering insights into Moiré excitons and their potential applications in optoelectronics and quantum technologies.
