properties of these materials, in particular through the interlayer interactions, has opened up a new regime of materials engineering. In sharp contrast to conventional bulk materials, the interlayer interactions in van der Waals coupled materials can be controlled mainly by two approaches, that is, designing interlayer stacking configurations [7][8][9] and/or applying external fields. [10,11] The former approach relies on the relatively weak van der Waals interaction between neighboring layers. Compared with the interfaces of bulk semiconductors, where strong covalent or ionic bonds between heteroatoms lead to a well-aligned interface, van der Waals coupled materials can have various stacking configurations with different twist angle between neighboring layers. These twist structures can either be realized by direct growth methods or controlled by transfer methods. The latter approach for engineering interlayer interactions relies on the convenience to electrically gate ultrathin van der Waals coupled layers. When a gate voltage is applied along the out-of-plane direction, the displacement field between the layers can be as large as 0.3 V Å −1 . For van der Waals coupled materials, both approaches are effective in tuning their electronic, mechanical, optical properties, etc. The band structures can be easily modified, since the hybridization of the electronic states from adjacent layers significantly depends on both the stacking configuration and the out-of-plane electric field.Recent experiments have demonstrated the unusual effects of the interlayer van der Waals coupling in a number of 2D materials. For example, in bilayer graphene, by changing the relative twist angle between the two layers, van Hove singularities (vHs) emerge in its band structure. [7] Furthermore, the energy of the vHs is controllable by the twist angle. More recently, in bilayers transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDCs), the circularly polarized photoluminescence (PL) can be continuously tuned via an electrical field applied perpendicular to the 2D film. [11] Indeed, van der Waals coupling of atomically thin 2D layers is of significant promise in the contemporary material engineering. It provides us with a new path to realize high-performance electronic, photovoltaic, photonics, and optoelectronic devices, for example, field-effect transistor and light-emitting diodes based on different 2D layers stacking are designed to realize flexible and transparent electronics; [12][13][14] MoS 2 /WS 2 heterostructure can be operated as a p-n diode; [15][16][17] TMDCs/graphene was addressed as high quantum efficiency light-harvesting devices. [18][19][20] The research in 2D materials is Engineering the properties of materials is of central importance in modern science and technology. In conventional bulk materials, the property changes are realized mainly through modifying the chemical bonds and crystalline structures, or introducing dopant atoms. Recent studies in van der Waals coupled 2D layered materials have demonstrated a different way of materia...
