By virtue of being atomically thin, the electronic properties of heterostructures built from two-dimensional materials are strongly influenced by atomic relaxation. The atomic layers behave as flexible membranes rather than rigid crystals.…
Twisted double bilayer graphene has recently emerged as an interesting moir\'e material that exhibits strong correlation phenomena that are tunable by an applied electric field. Here we study the atomic and electronic properties of three…
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 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…
We study the effect of twisting on bilayer graphene. The effect of lattice relaxation is included; we look at the electronic structure, piezo-electric charges and spontaneous polarisation. We show that the electronic structure without…
We construct an analytic continuum model to describe the electronic structure and the electron-phonon interaction in twisted bilayer graphenes with arbitrary lattice deformation. Starting from the tight-binding model, we derive the…
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…
Twisted trilayer graphene hosts two moir\'e superlattices originating from two interfaces between graphene layers. However, the system is generally unstable to lattice relaxation at small twist angles and is expected to show a significantly…
Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1{\deg} features a pair of isolated flat electronic bands and forms a strongly correlated electronic platform. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe local properties of…
We study the effect of atomic relaxation on the structure of moir\'e patterns in twisted graphene on graphite and double layer graphene by large scale atomistic simulations. The reconstructed structure can be described as a superlattice of…
We introduce a complete physical model for the single-particle electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG), which incorporates the crucial role of lattice relaxation. Our model, based on $k \cdot p$ perturbation theory, combines…
Twisted bilayer graphene displays many fascinating properties that can be tuned by varying the relative angle (also called twist angle) between its monolayers. As a remarkable feature, both the electronic flat bands and the corresponding…
Motivated by the recent observation of correlated insulator states and unconventional superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene, we study the dependence of electron correlations on the twist angle and reveal the existence of strong…
Twisted bilayers of two-dimensional materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, often feature flat electronic bands that enable the observation of electron correlation effects. In this work, we study the electronic structure of twisted…
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…
We theoretically study the electronic structure of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene with disordered moir\'e patterns. By using an extended continuum model incorporating non-uniform lattice distortion, we find that the local density of…
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…
It is now well established theoretically and experimentally that a moir\'e pattern, due to a rotation of two atomic layers with respect to each other, creates low-energy flat bands. First discovered in twisted bilayer graphene, these new…
Band structure determines the motion of electrons in a solid, giving rise to exotic phenomena when properly engineered. Drawing an analogy between electrons and photons, artificially designed optical lattices indicate the possibility of a…
We theoretically study the lattice relaxation in the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its effect on the electronic band structure. We develop an effective continuum theory to describe the lattice relaxation in general TBGs and obtain the…
