Many-body interactions in crystalline solids can be conveniently described in terms of quasiparticles with strongly renormalized masses as compared to those of non-interacting particles. Examples of extreme mass renormalization are on the…

Graphene, a thinnest material in the world, can form moire structures on different substrates, including graphite, h-BN, or metal surfaces. In such systems the structure of graphene, i. e. its corrugation, as well as its electronic and…
