Spontaneous fractional Chern insulators in transition metal dichalcogenide moiré superlattices

The Moiré superlattice realized in two-dimensional heterostructures offers an exciting platform to access strongly correlated electronic states. In this work, we study transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) Moiré superlattices with time-reversal symmetry and nontrivial spin/valley-Chern numbers. Uti...
