摘要

The design and fabrication of novel quantum devices in which exotic phenomena arise from moire physics have sparked a new race of conceptualization and creation of artificial lattice structures. This interest is further extended to the research on thin-film transition metal oxides, with the goal of synthesizing twisted layers of perovskite oxides concurrently revealing moire landscapes. By utilizing a sacrificial-layer-based approach, we show that such high-quality twisted bilayer oxide nanomembrane structures can be achieved. We observe atomicscale distinct moire patterns directly formed with different twist angles, and the symmetry-inequivalent nanomembranes can be stacked together to constitute new complex moire configurations. This study paves the way to the construction of higher-order artificial oxide heterostructures based on different materials/symmetries and provides the materials foundation for investigating moire-related electronic effects in an expanded selection of twisted oxide thin films.
