Electrically tunable topological transport of moir\'e polaritons

Abstract

Moir\'e interlayer exciton in transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayer features a permanent electric dipole that enables the electrostatic control of its flow, and optical dipole that is spatially varying in the moir\'e landscape. We show the hybridization of moir\'e interlayer exciton with photons in a planar 2D cavity leads to two types of moir\'e polaritons that exhibit distinct forms of topological transport phenomena including the spin/valley Hall and polarization Hall effects, which feature remarkable electrical tunability through the control of exciton-cavity detuning by the interlayer bias.
