## Title

- title: Moiré Potential Independent of Moiré Size Down to a Few Nanometers in Sliding
    Ferroelectrics
  title_type: original
  lang: en

## Description

- description: Sliding ferroelectricity represents a way to realize atomically thin
    ferroelectric materials. Due to the moiré pattern formed during the stacking process,
    the alternating ferroelectric domain network provides an attractive superlattice
    of electrostatic potential to modulate the electronic structures of another material
    sitting on it. The relationship between the ferroelectric potential magnitude
    and the moiré size, however, has been controversial in the literature. In addition,
    how strong the potential remains for domain sizes down to the 10 nm range is unclear.
    In this study, we use contact-mode scanning tunneling microscopy with high spatial
    and energy resolution to show that the moiré potential is independent of the domain
    size ranging from hundreds to several nanometers. We also show that the electrostatic
    potential is determined solely by the specific materials used to fabricate the
    stack. This study provides important information for sliding ferroelectrics and
    can foster their application in modulating other materials.
