Ballistic transport occurs whenever electrons propagate without collisions deflecting their trajectory. It is normally observed in conductors with a negligible concentration of impurities, at low temperature, to avoid electron-phonon…
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) provides a unique framework to elucidate the interplay between strong correlations and topological phenomena in two-dimensional systems. The existence of multiple electronic degrees of freedom -- charge, spin,…
In twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) a moir\'e pattern forms that introduces a new length scale to the material. At the 'magic' twist angle of 1.1{\deg}, this causes a flat band to form, yielding emergent properties such as correlated…
Bilayer graphene -- two coupled single graphene layers stacked as in graphite -- provides the only known semiconductor with a gap that can be tuned externally through electric field effect. Here we use a tight binding approach to study how…
We numerically investigate the electronic transport properties between two mesoscopic graphene disks with a twist by employing the density functional theory coupled with non-equilibrium Green's function technique. By attaching two graphene…
Two monolayers of graphene twisted by a small `magic' angle exhibit nearly flat bands leading to correlated electronic states and superconductivity, whose precise nature including possible broken symmetries, remain under debate. Here we…
We theoretically study the piezoelectric effects in moir\`e graphene systems. Since the strain couples to the electrons in the system as a pseudo vector potential, which has opposite signs for the $K$ and $K'$ valleys of graphene, its…
We explore the electronic structure and transport properties of a metal on top of a (weakly coupled) two-dimensional topological insulator. Unlike the widely studied junctions between topological non-trivial materials, the systems studied…
The absence of an energy gap separating valence and conduction bands makes the low-energy electronic properties of graphene and its multi-layers sensitive to electron-electron interactions. In bilayers, for instance, interactions are…
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…
While the exponential decay of tunneling probability with barrier thickness is well known, the accompanying oscillations with thickness have been comparatively less explored. Using a tight binding model, we investigate an AB-stacked bilayer…
The introduction of 'twist' or relative rotation between two atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) membranes gives rise to periodic Moire potential, leading to a substantial altercation of the band structure of the planar assembly. While most…
We analyze a description of twisted graphene bilayers, that incorporates deformation of the layers due to the nature modern interlayer potentials, and a modification of the hopping parameters between layers in the light of the classic…
Due to its incommensurate nature, moir\'e superlattices host not only acoustic phonons but also another type of soft collective modes called phasons. Here, we investigate the impact of electron-phason scattering on the transport properties…
In this study, critical behavior of low dimensional magnetic systems as cyano-bridged Tb(III)-Cr(III) bimetallic assembly was investigated with the mixed spin $3$- spin $3/2$ Ising model. The mixed spin Ising model is simulated with…
We study the fate of the Ising model and its universal properties when driven by a rapid periodic drive and weakly coupled to a bath at equilibrium. The far from equilibrium steady-state regime of the system is accessed by means of a…
We report on a double moir\'e system consisting of four graphene layers, where the top and bottom pairs form small-twist-angle bilayer graphene, and the middle interface has a large rotational mismatch. This system shows clear signatures of…
