Moiré materials built on transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors have emerged as a tunable platform for simulating the Hubbard model on a triangular lattice. A natural question arises: Can the platform be tuned to yield a phase diagram similar to that in high-temperature cuprate superconductors? In this talk, I will discuss the emergence of “high-temperature” superconductivity near the Mott transition in a triangular moiré lattice with intermediate coupling strength. The emergent doping-temperature phase diagram looks remarkably similar to that in cuprate superconductors. I will also discuss the evolution of the phase diagram by tuning the band structure of the material by gating. The results could provide a new angle for understanding the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity in strongly correlated materials.
