Van der Waals heterostructures have opened new opportunities to develop atomically thin (opto)electronic devices with a wide range of functionalities. The recent focus on manipulating the interlayer twist angle has led to the observation of out-of-plane room temperature ferroelectricity in twisted rhombohedral bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides. Here we explore the switching behaviour of sliding ferroelectricity using scanning probe microscopy domain mapping and tunnelling transport measurements.

Many electronic structure predictions have been reported exploring this new field, but with few momentum-resolved electronic structure measurements to test them. We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study the twist-dependent (1° < θ < 8°) band structure of twisted-bilayer, monolayer-on-bilayer, and double-bilayer graphene (tDBG).
