Twisted bilayer graphene with Kekule distortion: isolated flat band

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2019-07-30 v2

Abstract

Twisted bilayer graphenes with magical angle exhibit strongly correlated electronic properties because of the isolated flat band at the Fermi level. We studied the twisted bilayer graphene with substrates on both layers. The substrate induce Kekuleˊ\acute{e} distortion for each graphene layer. The systems are investigated by both continuous Dirac Fermion model and tight binding model. The two investigations give similar conclusion that isolated flat band with ultra-narrow bandwidth could appear.
