When two slightly different layers are overlaid at a specific angle, they produce a moiré pattern. In the field of spectroscopy, this pattern results in varying levels of electronic energy across the sample, a phenomenon called moiré potential. The researchers found that excitons tend to be concentrated in areas where the energy is minimal.
