SUMMARY:Abdus Salam Colloquium – Andrei Bernevig – The rise of moire sy
 stems 
DESCRIPTION:The rise of moire systems \n\nWe will review the beginning of 
 experimental and theoretical studies of moire systems and their evolution 
 up to present. This type of systems represent a new way of “growing” m
 aterials\, and has tremendous potential both for fundamental physics as we
 ll as for applications. Two dimensional periodic crystals\, whose separati
 on between atoms is of order angstroms\, can be twisted controllably with 
 respect to each other such that they form new “periodicities”\, called
  moire periodicities. In the new “unit cell” we find thousands of atom
 s of the original crystal. These atoms behave in ways that are incredibly 
 counterintuitive. We show how the controlled twisting of graphene and MoTe
 2 layers has led to a slew of states of matter not possible in bulk conven
 tional materials. We will show how the collective behavior of thousands of
  p orbitals in a moire unit cell of graphene can create single Heavy fermi
 on at moire scale\, and how the interaction between such fermions can lead
  to a perfect quantum simulator of an Anderson model. We will then present
  a catalogue of possible twistable materials and show how a huge variety o
 f strongly interacting models can be realized in twisted homo and hetero t
 wisted bilayers and multilayers of these materials.
