Localization-enhanced moire exciton in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide heterotrilayer superlattices.

ABSTRACT: The stacking of twisted two-dimensional (2D) layered materials has led to the creation of moiré superlattices, which have become a new platform for the study of quantum optics. The strong coupling of moiré superlattices can result in flat minibands that boost electronic interactions and generate interesting strongly correlated states, including unconventional superconductivity, Mott insulating states, and moiré excitons. However, the impact of adjusting and localizing moiré excitons in Van der Waals heterostructures has yet to be explored experimentally. Here, we present experimental evidence of the localization-enhanced moiré excitons in the twisted WSe₂/WS₂/WSe₂ heterotrilayer with type-II band alignments. At low temperatures, we observed multiple exciton
