Moiré-Mott insulators in transition metal dichalcogenides: Spin liquids and doping

Moiré heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have been shown to give rise to correlated insulating states at fractional fillings, forming self-organized charge lattices. The combination of spin-orbit coupling and moiré modulation can lead pseudomagnetic fields and associated fluxes patterns for electrons. We explore the possibility of spin-liquid states in these systems. We further discuss the effects of doping these correlated insulating states at fractional fillings.
