Moiré magnetism in CrBr multilayers emerging from differential strain.

Interfaces between twisted 2D materials host a wealth of physical phenomena originating from the long-scale periodicity associated with the resulting moiré structure. Besides twisting, an alternative route to create structures with comparably long-or even longer-periodicities is inducing a differential strain between adjacent layers in a van der Waals (vdW) material. Despite recent theoretical efforts analyzing its benefits, this route has not yet been implemented experimentally.

Universal Scaling near Band-Tuned Metal-Insulator Phase Transitions.

We present a theory for band-tuned metal-insulator transitions based on the Kubo formalism. Such a transition exhibits scaling of the resistivity curves in the regime where Tτ>1 or μτ>1, where τ is the scattering time and μ the chemical potential. At the critical value of the chemical potential, the resistivity diverges as a power law, R_{c}∼1/T.

Flat Γ Moiré Bands in Twisted Bilayer WSe_{2}.

The recent observation of correlated phases in transition metal dichalcogenide moiré systems at integer and fractional filling promises new insight into metal-insulator transitions and the unusual states of matter that can emerge near such transitions. Here, we combine real- and momentum-space mapping techniques to study moiré superlattice effects in 57.4° twisted WSe_{2} (tWSe_{2}).

Determining spin-orbit coupling in graphene by quasiparticle interference imaging.

Inducing and controlling spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene is key to create topological states of matter, and for the realization of spintronic devices. Placing graphene onto a transition metal dichalcogenide is currently the most successful strategy to achieve this goal, but there is no consensus as to the nature and the magnitude of the induced SOC. Here, we show that the presence of backscattering in graphene-on-WSe heterostructures can be used to probe SOC and to determine its strength quantitatively, by imaging quasiparticle interference with a scanning tunneling microscope.

What merits greater scholarly attention in international business?

Scholarly efforts to propose future directions for international business (IB) research have generated a timely and extensive inventory of potentially interesting areas of research. We supplement this line of inquiry by suggesting that an additional layer of scrutiny could be beneficial when advocating in favor of giving more attention to particular research realms. Specifically, we advance several guiding principles that will help IB scholars assess which research areas merit greater scholarly attention, based on their potential importance and impact.
