Topological physics of moiré matter

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

The frontier of moiré matter has opened up a previously inaccessible realm of emergent topological phenomena. This class of materials — formed by stacking two-dimensional layers with a small twist — provides a unique platform for investigating tailored interactions in tunable solid-state devices, where the moiré superlattice can give rise to delicate topology-driven physics. In this setting, the interplay of field-tunable correlated states, fractionalised excitations, and anomalous velocity phenomena awaits exploration and manipulation.

This cross-journal open Collection focuses on experimental and theoretical developments in the rich tapestry of topological physics in moiré matter.

We welcome the submissions of primary research papers that fall into any of the above categories, with Nature Communications and Communications Physics also considering Reviews and Perspectives that fall within the scope of the Collection. All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular Nature Communications, Communications Physics, and Scientific Reports articles.

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Nature Communications, Communications Physics and Scientific Reports more generally.

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific journal through which they are submitted, namely Nature CommunicationsCommunications Physics and Scientific Reports . Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

When submitting your manuscript to Nature CommunicationsCommunications Physics or Scientific Reports via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
