    Taehyung KimKyung Hee University, Seoul, Republic of Korea _______________________________________ Twisted hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructures offer exceptional advantages in nanoscale ferroelectric control, enabling tunable moiré potentials and strain-modulated interfacial phenomena. This work demonstrates the direct visualization of strain-induced moiré superlattices and twirled domain architectures at interfacial bubbles via Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Local strain…

    Minhyun ChoKyung Hee University, Seoul, Republic of Korea _______________________________________ Twisted hexagonal boron nitride (thBN) exhibits emergent ferroelectricity due to the formation of moiré superlattices with alternating AB and BA domains. These domains possess electric dipoles, leading to a periodic electrostatic potential that can be imprinted onto other 2D materials placed in its proximity. Here we…

    Xiaoqin Elaine LiUniversity of Texas at Austin – Austin, Texas USA_______________________________________ Moiré superlattices are typically created by stacking and twisting two functional layers, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). This process often results in simultaneous changes in electronic and photonic properties as a function of the twist angle, which can impose undesirable constraints.…
