Moiré superlattices have emerged as a promising
platform
for investigating and designing optically generated excitonic properties.
The electronic band structure of these systems can be qualitatively
modulated by interactions between the top and bottom layers, leading
to the emergence of new quantum phenomena. However, the inhomogeneities
present in atomically thin bilayer moiré superlattices created
by artificial stacking have hindered a deeper understanding of strongly
correlated electron properties. In this work, we report the fabrication
of homogeneous moiré superlattices with controllable twist
angles using a 2L-WSe2/2L-WSe2 homostructure.
By adding extra layers, we provide additional degrees of freedom to
tune the optical properties of the moiré superlattices while
mitigating the nonuniformity problem. The presence of an additional
bottom layer acts as a buffer, reducing the inhomogeneity of the moiré
superlattice, while the encapsulation effect of the additional top
and bottom WSe2 monolayers further enhances the localized
moiré excitons. Our observations of alternating circularly
polarized photoluminescence confirm the existence of moiré
excitons, and their characteristics were further confirmed by theoretical
calculations. These findings provide a fundamental basis for studying
moiré potential correlated quantum phenomena and pave the way
for their application in quantum optical devices.
