Spontaneous symmetry-breaking, where the ground state of a system has lower symmetry than the underlying Hamiltonian, is ubiquitous in physics. It leads to multiply-degenerate ground states, each with a different "broken" symmetry labeled…
Incommensurately twisted graphene bilayers are described by long-wavelength theories, but to date such theories exist only at small angles of interlayer rotation. We construct a long wavelength theory without such a restriction, instead…

Coherent motion of the electrons in the Bloch states is one of the fundamental concepts of the charge conduction in solid state physics. In layered materials, however, such a condition often breaks down for the interlayer conduction, when…

Bilayer graphene is normally a semimetal with parabolic dispersion, but a tunable bandgap up to few hundreds meV can be opened by breaking the symmetry between the layers through an external potential. Ab-initio calculations show that the…

Motivated by recent experimental results we calculate from first-principles the lifetime of low-energy quasiparticles in bilayer graphene (BLG). We take into account the scattering rate arising from electron-electron interactions within the…
Semiconductor double-layers in the quantum Hall regime tend to have superfluid exciton condensate ground states when the total filling factor is an odd integer, provided that the Landau orbitals at the Fermi level in the two layers have the…
We predict that neutral graphene bilayers are pseudospin magnets in which the charge density-contribution from each valley and spin spontaneously shifts to one of the two layers. The band structure of this system is characterized by a…
Proximity effects resulting from depositing a graphene layer on a TMD substrate layer change the dynamics of the electronic states in graphene, inducing spin orbit coupling (SOC) and staggered potential effects. An effective Hamiltonian…
