Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) twisted moiré materials, a new class of van der Waals (vdW) layered heterostructures with different twist angles between neighboring layers, have attracted tremendous attention due to their rich emerging properties. In this review, we systematically summarize the recent progress of 2D twisted moiré materials. Firstly, we introduce several representative fabrication methods and the fascinating topographies of the twisted moiré materials. Specifically, we discuss various remarkable physical properties related to twisted angles, including flat bands, unconventional superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and ferroelectricity. We also analyze the potential applications in various twisted moiré systems. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of the twisted moiré materials are discussed. This work would spur edge-cutting ideas and related achievements in the scientific and technological frontiers of 2D twisted moiré materials.
