Join us on Monday 4 April at 11am on Zoom.

In this meeting, Valerio Vitale will discuss his work on:
Moiré materials and flat bands: the case of twisted transition metal dichalcogenides bilayers.

• Intro to the physics of moiré materials and the field of twistronics
• Flat bands and electron correlation 
• Twisted transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) bilayers as a realisation of moiré materials
• Challenges in modelling the atomic and electronic structure of moiré materials
• Our multiscale approach: Classical force fields and ab initio tight-binding
• Results
• Conclusions

Hope to see you all there!
