Twisted two-dimensional structures open new possibilities in band structure engineering. At magic twist angles, flat bands emerge, which give a new drive to the field of strongly correlated physics. In twisted double bilayer graphene dual…

Bilayer graphene twisted by a small angle shows a significant charge modulation away from neutrality, as the charge in the narrow bands near the Dirac point is mostly localized in the regions of the Moir\'e pattern with $AA$ stacking. The…

Bilayer graphene in a magnetic field supports eight zero-energy Landau levels, which, as a tunable band gap develops, evolve into two nearly-degenerate quartets separated by the band gap. A close look is made into the properties of such an…
