When bilayer graphene is rotationally faulted to an angle $\theta\approx 1.1^\circ$, theory predicts the formation of a flat electronic band and correlated insulating, superconducting, and ferromagnetic states have all been observed at…

A bipartite lattice with chiral symmetry is known to host zero energy flat bands if the numbers of the two sublattices are different. We demonstrate that this mechanism of producing flat bands can be realized on graphene by introducing…

Stacking two layers of graphene with a relative twist angle gives rise to moir\'e patterns, which can strongly modify electronic behavior and may lead to unconventional superconductivity. A synthetic version of twisted bilayers can be…

Using highly efficient GPU-based simulations of the tight-binding Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations we solve self-consistently for the pair correlation in rhombohedral (ABC) and Bernal (ABA) multilayer graphene by considering a finite…

External magnetic fields conventionally suppress superconductivity, both by orbital and paramagnetic effects. A recent experiment has shown that in a Bernal stacked bilayer graphene system, the opposite occurs -- a finite critical magnetic…
