Fig. 5

Periodic relaxation is observed universally in multiple twisted 2D systems. SAED of a low-θ TBG, b twisted four-layer (4L) WS2 homostructure, c twisted bilayer (2L + 2L) CrI3, d twisted WSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure shows bright Bragg peaks with small superlattice peaks. Insets i–iii are multislice simulated diffraction patterns with a torsional PLD model. The torsional PLD model reproduces qualitatively accurate SAED patterns across multiple systems.
