Motivated by the higher Chern bands of twisted graphene multilayers, we consider flat bands with arbitrary Chern number $C$ with ideal quantum geometry. While $C>1$ bands differ from Landau levels, we show that these bands host exact…

We use temperature-dependent resistivity in small-angle twisted double bilayer graphene to measure bandwidths and gaps of the bands. This electron-hole asymmetric system has one set of non-dispersing bands that splits into two flat bands…

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…
