Twistronics, a cutting-edge field in quantum physics, focuses on stacking van der Waals materials to investigate new quantum phenomena. Purdue University researchers recently achieved a significant advancement in this field by incorporating quantum spin into twisted double bilayers of antiferromagnets, leading to tunable Moiré magnetism. This development potentially paves the way for new materials for spintronics and holds the promise of progress in memory and spin logic devices. The team’s findings were published in a journal article entitled “Electrically tunable moiré magnetism in twisted double layers of chromium triiodide” in nature electronics.
