Title: Probing emergent excitations in semiconducting moiré superlattices
Abstract: Semiconducting moiré superlattices recently emerged as an attractive platform for engineering new quantum phenomena. While a plethora of intriguing ground states are reported, their dynamics and excitations remain largely unexplored, which govern their responses to intrinsic fluctuations and external driving. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts to investigate excitations in semiconducting moiré superlattices. Using an ultrafast wide-field imaging technique, we record their complete space-time evolution, such as space-and-time-resolved transport. This allows us to simultaneously capture and separate multiple collective excitations, identify their nature and distinguish them from single-particle ones, which have been challenging from steady-state measurements. These emergent excitations govern dynamic responses of the system and play a central role in phase stability and transition. Our results highlight new…
