Proximity-induced charge density waves in a moiré heterobilayer
First-principles calculations reveal that proximity effects in a twisted NbSe/MoSe heterobilayer induce a highly non-uniform charge density wave in the MoSe layer, driven primarily by steric repulsion between selenium atoms across the van der Waals gap.
