AbstractMoiré lattices formed in twisted van der Waals bilayers provide a unique, tunable platform to realize coupled electron or exciton lattices unavailable before. While twist angle between the bilayer has been shown to be a critical parameter in engineering the moiré potential and enabling novel phenomena in electronic moiré systems, a systematic experimental study as a function of twist angle is still missing. Here we show that not only are moiré excitons robust in bilayers of even large twist angles, but also properties of the moiré excitons are dependant on, and controllable by, the moiré reciprocal lattice period via twist-angle tuning. From the twist-angle dependence, we furthermore obtain the effective mass of the interlayer excitons and the electron inter-layer tunneling strength, which are difficult to measure experimentally otherwise. These findings pave the way for understanding and engineering rich moiré-lattice induced phenomena in angle-twisted semiconductor van der Waals heterostructures.

.This paper describes an experimental study of the van der Waals dispersion forces between curved mica surfaces. For separations in the range 1.4 to 20 nm the forces were determined by the jump method described in earlier work by Tabor & Winterton (1969). For larger separations the forces were determined by a new dynamic method. One surface was supported on a rigid piezo-electric crystal and could be set vibrating at very small amplitudes over a convenient range of frequencies. The other was supported, facing it, on a stiff spring: its natural frequency depended both on the spring stiffness and on the van der Waals force exerted upon its by the first surface. By determining the resonant frequency as a function of separation the law of force was deduced in the range 10 to 130 nm. Both methods thus covered the range from 1.4 to 130 nm. In this way it is shown that there is a gradual transition between non-retarded and retarded forces as the separation is increased from 12 to 50nm. Experiments have also been carried out on the influence of adsorbed fatty acid monolayers on the van der Waals interaction between mica surfaces. The results show that for separations greater than about 5 nm the forces are as for bulk mica: for separations less than 3 nm the forces are slightly less and appear to be dominated by the van der Waals properties of the monolayers themselves.
