Synthesis of incommensurate moire structures with short-range-ordered charge density modulation.

ABSTRACT: Moiré structures have attracted great interest for tuning emergent quantum phenomena and enabling novel device functionalities. For the twisted bilayer graphene or semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides, studies have been focused on ordered systems, atomically and electronically. However, disordered/short-range-ordered moiré electronic structures, likewise involving emergence of novel physical properties and functional applications, remain elusive. Here, we report an incommensurate moiré structure with short-range-ordered charge density modulation state, which is formed between monolayer metallic NiTe₂ and superconductor NbSe₂. This state features intra-moiré-cell irregular charge orders with spontaneous on-site ordering at the moiré scale, while breaking the
