摘要
Two-dimensional materials and hetero-structures provide an important playground for realizing novel topological quantum phases as well as tailored electronic and spin textures with potential applications. In this talk, I will first present our recent works on the experimental realization of novel topological phases in the family of transition metal dichalcogenides [1-3]. I will also present our recent work of band structure engineering by superlattice potential in a model van der Waals heterostructure [4].
