George Mason University was awarded a $349,997 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research on twist control of correlated physics in two-dimensional materials. The award will support discovery of the role of interlayer interactions in layered quantum materials through exploration of twisted heterostructures of tantalum disulfide. Key activities include creating the first twisted heterostructures of strongly correlated materials, elucidating twist-angle structure-property relationships in tantalum disulfide through nanoscale and mesoscale characterization, and discovering the impact of aperiodicity in twisted quantum quasicrystals. The research aims to uncover the total phase space detailing interplay of Mott physics, charge density waves, magnetism, and metallic states. Insights will inform theoretical models and provide guidance for designer quantum behaviors in twisted heterostructures. The three-year award runs from September 15, 2022 through August 31, 2025.
