A remarkable recent experiment has observed Mott insulator and proximate superconductor phases in twisted bilayer graphene when electrons partly fill a nearly flat mini-band that arises a `magic' twist angle. However, the nature of the Mott…
We study the low-energy electronic structure of heterostructures formed by one sheet of graphene placed on a monolayer of ${\rm NbSe_2}$. We build a continuous low-energy effective model that takes into account the presence of a twist angle…

The requirements for broadband photodetection are becoming exceedingly demanding in hyperspectral imaging. Whilst intrinsic photoconductor arrays based on mercury cadmium telluride represent the most sensitive and suitable technology, their…
It is usually believed that the spin-fluctuation mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity results in d-wave pairing, and that it is destructive for the conventional phonon-mediated pairing. We show that in bilayer materials, due to…
The search for robust topological superconductivity and Majorana bound states continues, exploring both one-dimensional (1D) systems such as semiconducting nanowires and two-dimensional (2D) platforms. In this work we study a 2D approach…

Many theoretical approaches find d-wave superconductivity in the prototypical one-band Hubbard model for high-temperature superconductors. At strong-coupling (U > W, where U is the on-site repulsion and W=8t the bandwidth) pairing is…
A great variety of novel phenomena occur when two-dimensional materials, such as graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides, are assembled into bilayers with a twist between individual layers. As a new application of this paradigm, we…
