Heterostructure bilayer graphene-hBN: Interplay between misalignment, interlayer asymmetry, and trigonal warping

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2013-11-20 v2

Abstract

We study the superlattice minibands produced by the interplay between moir\'e pattern induced by hexagonal BN substrate on graphene layer and the interlayer coupling in bilayer graphene with Bernal stacking (BLG). We compare moir\'e miniband features in BLG, where they are affected by the interlayer asymmetry of BLG-hBN heterostructure and trigonal warping characteristic for electrons in Bernal-stacked bilayers with those found in monolayer graphene.
