Depinning, melting, and sliding of generalized Wigner crystals in Moiré systems

We numerically examine the depinning, sliding, and melting of commensurate and incommensurate Wigner crystals on two-dimensional hexagonal periodic substrates near fillings of 1/3,1/2, and 2/3 to model the dynamics of generalized Wigner crystals in moiré heterostructures. At low temperatures where t...
