Heterostructures involving graphene and bismuth, with their ability to absorb light over a very wide energy range, are of interest for engineering next-generation opto-electronics. Critical to the technological application of such…
We demonstrate a generic mechanism to realize topological flat minibands by confining massive Dirac fermions in a periodic moir\'e potential, which can be achieved in a heterobilayer of transition metal dichalcogenides. We show that the…
Rhombohedral multilayer graphene, with its flat electronic bands and concentrated Berry curvature, is a promising material for the realization of correlated topological phases of matter. When aligned to an adjacent hexagonal boron nitride…
We apply cluster dynamical mean field theory with an exact-diagonalization impurity solver to a Hubbard model for magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, built on the tight-binding model proposed by Kang and Vafek (2018), which applies to the…
Twisted graphene bilayers provide a versatile platform to engineer metamaterials with novel emergent properties by exploiting the resulting geometric moir\'{e} superlattice. Such superlattices are known to host bulk valley currents at tiny…
We report on the investigation of periodic superstructures in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) van-der-Waals heterostructures, where one of the graphene layers is aligned to hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Our theoretical simulations reveal…
To simulate the dynamics of massless Dirac fermions in curved spacetimes with one, two, and three spatial dimensions we construct tight-binding Hamiltonians with spatially varying hoppings. These models represent tilted Weyl semimetals…
We analyze a class of bound defect states in the continuum electronic spectrum of bilayer materials, which emerge independent of symmetry protection or additional degrees of freedom. Taking graphene as a prototypical example, our…
The moir\'e superlattice formed by ABC stacked trilayer graphene aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride substrate (TG/h-BN) provides an interesting system where both the bandwidth and the topology can be tuned by an applied perpendicular…
The stacking and bending of graphene are trivial but extremely powerful agents of control over graphene's manifold physics. By changing the twist angle, one can drive the system over a plethora of exotic states via strong electron…
Moir\'e superlattices are generally assumed to act only at the interface where lattice mismatch or twist occurs. Here, we study charge transport in large-angle helical twisted trilayer graphene, where interlayer tunneling is strongly…
Accurate orthogonal tight-binding Hamiltonians are constructed for ferromagnetic SrRuO$_3$ and the layered perovskite superconductor, Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ by fitting to all-electron full-potential local density band structures obtained by the…
We develop a low-energy continuum model for phonons in twisted moir\'e bilayers, based on a configuration-space approach. In this approach, interatomic force constants are obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations of…
The bands of graphite are extremely sensitive to topological defects which modify the electronic structure. In this paper we found non-dispersive flat bands no farther than 10 meV of the Fermi energy in slightly twisted bilayer graphene as…
The moire flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene have attracted considerable attention not only because of the emergence of correlated phases but also due to their nontrivial topology. Specifically, they exhibit a new class of topology that…
Rotational misalignment or twisting of two mono-layers of graphene strongly influences its electronic properties. Structurally, twisting leads to large periodic supercell structures, which in turn can support intriguing strongly correlated…
The recent experimental studies of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) raise a fundamental question: how do we understand Mott localization in a topological band? In this work, we offer a new perspective of Mott physics, which can be generalized…
The effective Hamiltonian for electrons in bilayer graphene with applied magnetic fields is solved through second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This method transforms the corresponding eigenvalue problem into two intertwined one…
