Hexagonal boron nitride ($\it h$-BN) exhibits dominant $\pi$-bands near the Fermi level, similar to graphene. However, unlike graphene, where tight-binding (TB) models accurately reproduce band edges near the $K$ and $K^{\prime}$ points in…

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…

Correlated insulators and superconductivity have been observed in "magic-angle" twisted bilayer graphene, when the nearly flat bands close to neutrality are partially filled. While a momentum-space continuum model accurately describes these…

The electronic structure of solids can routinely be calculated by standard methods like density functional theory. However, in complicated situations like interfaces, grain boundaries or contact geometries one needs to resort to more…

We review the electronic properties of bilayer graphene, beginning with a description of the tight-binding model of bilayer graphene and the derivation of the effective Hamiltonian describing massive chiral quasiparticles in two parabolic…

The newly realized twisted graphene systems such as twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), and twisted trilayer graphene (TTG) have attracted widespread theoretical attention. Therefore, a simple and…

We present a compelling evidence for the opening of a bandgap in exfoliated bottom-gated bilayer graphene by fitting the gate-voltage modulated infrared reflectivity spectra in a large range of doping levels with a tight-binding model and…

We build symmetry adapted maximally localized Wannier states, and construct the low energy tight binding model for the four narrow bands of the twisted bilayer graphene. We do so when the twist angle is commensurate, near the `magic' value,…

We discuss how to construct tight-binding models for ultra cold atoms in honeycomb potentials, by means of the maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) for composite bands introduced by Marzari and Vanderbilt [1]. In particular, we…

We introduce a minimum tight-binding model with only three parameters extracted from graphene and untwisted bilayer graphene. This model reproduces quantitatively the electronic structure of not only these two systems and bulk graphite near…

One- and two-dimensional bilayer systems are examples of ultra-tunable quantum materials that are considered as the basis for the new generation of electronic and photonic devices. Here we develop a general theory of the electron band…

With its monoelemental composition, various crystalline forms and an inherently strong spin-orbit coupling, bismuth has been regarded as an ideal prototype material to expand our understanding of topological electronic structures. In…

Tight-binding models for ultracold atoms in optical lattices can be properly defined by using the concept of maximally localized Wannier functions for composite bands. The basic principles of this approach are reviewed here, along with…

Twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) has emerged as an important platform for studying correlated phenomena, including unconventional superconductivity, in two-dimensional systems. The complexity of the atomic-scale structures in TBLG has made…

We present an accurate ab initio tight-binding model, capable of describing the dynamics of Dirac points in tunable honeycomb optical lattices following a recent experimental realization [L. Tarruell et al., Nature 483, 302 (2012)]. Our…

Using the method developed in the companion paper, we construct the effective continuum theories for two different microscopic tight binding models of the twisted bilayer graphene at the twist angle of $1.05^\circ$, one Slater-Koster based…

We present an analytical description of pi electrons of a finite size bilayer graphene within a framework of the tight-binding model. The bilayered structures considered here are characterized by a rectangular geometry and have a finite…

Accurate modeling of the pi-bands of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) requires correctly reproducing asymmetries in the bulk graphene bands as well as providing a realistic model for hydrogen passivation of the edge atoms. The commonly…

Motivated by the observation of polarization superlattices in twisted multilayers of hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN), we address the possibility of using these heterostructures for tailoring the properties of multilayer graphene by means…

We present infrared spectra (0.1-1 eV) of electrostatically gated bilayer graphene as a function of doping and compare it with tight binding calculations. All major spectral features corresponding to the expected interband transitions are…
