| description | Janus dichalcogenide multilayers provide a paradigmatic platform to engineer electronic phenomena dominated by spin–orbit coupling. Their unique spin–orbit effects stem from the mirror symmetry breaking in each layer, which induces a colossal Rashba spin–orbit effect in comparison with the conventional dichalcogenide counterparts. Here we put forward twisted Janus dichalcogenide bilayers as a simple platform to realize spin–orbit correlated states. We demonstrate the emergence of flat bands featuring strong spin-momentum locking and the emergence of symmetry broken states with associated non-coplanar magnetization when interactions are included. We further show that the symmetry broken states can be controlled by means of a magnetic substrate, strongly impacting the non-coplanar magnetic texture of the moire unit cell. Our results put forward twisted Janus multilayers as a powerful platform to explore spin–orbit correlated physics, and highlighting the versatility of magnetic substrates to control unconventional moire magnetism. |
