ABSTRACT

The fabrication of artificial structures using a twisted van der Waals assembly has been a key technique for recent advancements in the research of two-dimensional (2D) materials. To date, various exotic phenomena have been observed thanks to the modified electron correlation or moiré structure controlled by the twist angle. However, the twisted van der Waals assembly has further potential to modulate the physical properties by controlling the symmetry. In this study, we fabricated twisted bilayer WTe2 and demonstrated that the twist angle successfully controls the spatial inversion symmetry and hence the spin splitting in the band structure. Our results reveal the further potential of a twisted van der Waals assembly, suggesting the feasibility of pursuing new physical phenomena in 2D materials based on the control of symmetry.

ABSTRACT

We present a dry pick-and-flip assembly technique for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of van der Waals heterostructures. By combining Elvacite2552C acrylic resin and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid, we prepared polymers with glass transition temperatures (Tg) ranging from 37 to 100 â„ƒ. The adhesion of the polymer to the 2D crystals was enhanced at [Formula: see text]. By utilizing the difference in [Formula: see text], a 2D heterostructure can be transferred from a high-[Formula: see text] polymer to a lower-[Formula: see text] polymer, which enables flipping its surface upside down. This process is suitable for assembling heterostructures for ARPES, where the top capping layer should be monolayer graphene. The laser-based micro-focused ARPES measurements of 5-layer WTe2, 3-layer MoTe2, 2-layer WTe2/few-layer Cr2Ge2Te6, and twisted double bilayer WTe2 demonstrate that this process can be utilized as a versatile sample fabrication method for investigating the energy spectra of 2D heterostructures.
