Emergent phenomena arising from the collective behavior of electrons is generally expected when Coulomb interactions dominate over the kinetic energy, as in delocalized quasiparticles in highly degenerate flat bands. Bernal-stacked bilayer…

Chirally stacked N-layer graphene with N>=2 is susceptible to a variety of distinct broken symmetry states in which each spin-valley flavor spontaneously transfers charge between layers. In mean-field theory the neutral bilayer ground state…

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 119, p. 133901 (2017)] it was argued that two parallel graphene layers in the presence of electron drift support unstable plasmon modes. Here we show that the predicted plasmon instability is an artifact of errors…

In magic angle twisted bilayer graphene, transport, thermodynamic and spectroscopic experiments pinpoint at a competition between distinct low-energy states with and without electronic order. We use Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) on the…

Electrons most often organize into Fermi-liquid states in which electron-electron interactions play an inessential role. A well known exception is the case of one-dimensional (1D) electron systems (1DES). In 1D the electron Fermi-surface…
