Correlation enhanced resistance hysteresis near half filling in MoS2/WSe2 heterobilayer

Ferroelectricity, typically arising from ionic displacements in noncentrosymmetric lattices, enabling applications in memory devices and sensors. Recent advances in two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures have revealed novel ferroelectric phenomena, including sliding ferroelectricity and correlation-driven ferroelectricity in moire superlattices. In this work, we fabricate and study a MoS2/WSe2 moire superlattice device exhibiting a high field-effect mobility of 17,650 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$. Electrical transport measurements reveal correlated insulating states accompanied by a prominent and reproducible resistance hysteresis near half filling. Temperature and displacement field dependence further confirms the correlation-enhanced nature of the hysteresis. Our analysis suggests that displacement field-induced metal-to-insulator transition at correlated insulating state coupled with interfacial dipoles enables the observed resistance hysteresis. These results establish correlation enhanced resistance hysteresis near half filling in a MoS2/WSe2 heterobilayer, offering opportunities for exploring emergent quantum phases and device functionalities.

Magnetic Bloch States at Integer Flux Quanta Induced by Super-moir\'e Potential in Graphene Aligned with Twisted Boron Nitride

Two-dimensional electron systems in both magnetic fields and periodic potentials are described by Hofstadter butterfly, a fundamental problem of solid-state physics. While moir\'e systems provide a powerful method to realize this spectrum, previous experiments, however, have been limited to fractional flux quanta regime due to the difficulty of building ~ 50 nm periodic modulations. Here, we demonstrate a super-moir\'e strategy to overcome this challenge. By aligning monolayer graphene (G) with 1.0{\deg} twisted hexagonal boron nitride (t-hBN), a 63.2 nm bichromatic G/t-hBN super-moir\'e is constructed, made possible by exploiting the electrostatic nature of t-hBN potential. Under magnetic field B, magnetic Bloch states at integer flux quanta (1-9) are achieved and observed as integer Brown-Zak oscillations, expanding the flux quanta from factions to integers. Theoretical analysis reproduces these experimental findings. This work opens new avenues to study unexplored Hofstadter butterfly, explore emergent topological order at integer flux quanta and engineer long-wavelength periodic modulations.
