Abstract

Twist bilayer graphenes with magical angle have nearly flat band, which become strongly correlated electron systems. Herein, we propose another system based on strained bilayer graphene that have flat band at the intrinsic Fermi level. The top and bottom layers are uniaxially stretched along different directions. When the strength and directions of the strain satisfy certain condition, the periodical lattices of the two layers are commensurate to each other. The regions with AA, AB and BA stacking arrange in a triangular lattice. With magical strain, the bands around the intrinsic Fermi level are nearly flat and have large gap from the other bands. This system could provide more feasible platform for graphene-based integrated electronic system with superconductivity.
