Van der Waals Heterostructures and Twistronics

Advances in two-dimensional quantum materials  

by Pramoda Kumar Nayak, Kushal Mazumder, Samriddhi Kushwaha

Van der Waals Heterostructures and Twistronics: Advances in two-dimensional quantum materials offers an accessible and comprehensive exploration of one of the fastest-growing areas of modern materials science and quantum technology. As research into atomically thin materials continues to reshape the future of electronics and quantum devices, this book examines how atomically thin materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes and related layered systems can be engineered to exhibit extraordinary quantum phenomena through interlayer coupling and twist-angle control.

The book introduces the foundations of two-dimensional quantum materials before progressing to the synthesis, characterization and theoretical understanding of twisted heterostructures and moiré superlattices. It covers key topics including flat-band superconductivity, correlated electron states, excitonic and valleytronic phenomena, quantum magnetism, spin-dependent transport and advanced spectroscopic and computational techniques. Emphasis is also placed on practical applications, highlighting the growing impact of twisted 2D materials in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, spintronics, quantum computing, catalysis and clean-energy technologies.

Connecting physics, materials science and engineering, this book is designed for graduate students and researchers working in quantum materials and nanotechnology. It will also serve as a valuable reference for scientists and engineers seeking a clear and up-to-date guide to the emerging science and technological promise of twisted van der Waals heterostructures.
