We examine an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a double-well waveguide with a symmetric potential. The ground state of the system beyond a critical power becomes asymmetric. The effect is illustrated numerically, and…
Bilayer graphene and its thicker cousins with Rhombohedral stacking have attracted considerable attention because of their susceptibility to a variety of broken chiral symmetry states. Due to large density-of-states and quantized Berry…
Twisted bilayer graphene is an exciting platform for exploring correlated quantum phases, extremely tunable with respect to both the single-particle bands and the interaction profile of electrons. Here, we investigate the phase diagram of…
In the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MA-TBG), strong electron-electron (e-e) correlations caused by the band-flattening lead to many exotic quantum phases such as superconductivity, correlated insulator, ferromagnetism, and quantum…
Magic angle twisted bilayer graphene has emerged as a powerful platform for studying strongly correlated electron physics, owing to its almost dispersionless low-energy bands and the ability to tune the band filling by electrostatic gating.…
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), with rotational misalignment close to 1.1$^\circ$, features isolated flat electronic bands that host a rich phase diagram of correlated insulating, superconducting, ferromagnetic, and topological…
When two graphene sheets are twisted relative to each other by a small angle, enhanced correlations lead to superconductivity whose origin remains under debate. Here, we derive some general constraints on superconductivity in twisted…
We introduce and analyze a model that sheds light on the interplay between correlated insulating states, superconductivity, and flavor-symmetry breaking in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. Using a variational mean-field theory, we…
Due to its potential connection with nematicity, electronic anisotropy has been the subject of intense research effort on a wide variety of material platforms. The emergence of spatial anisotropy not only offers a characterization of…
We devote this work to the study of the mean-field phase diagram of the $\nu=0$ quantum Hall state in bilayer graphene and the computation of the corresponding neutral collective modes, extending the results of recent works in the…
Atomic collapse can be observed in graphene because of its large "effective" fine structure constant, which enables this phenomenon to occur for an impurity charge as low as $Z_c\sim 1-2$. Here, we investigate the effect of the sublattice…
Inversion symmetry breaking allows contrasted circular dichroism in different k-space regions, which takes the extreme form of optical selection rules for interband transitions at high symmetry points. In materials where band-edges occur at…
Superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems frequently exhibits broken rotational symmetry, raising fundamental questions about the underlying order parameter symmetry. In this work, we demonstrate that electronic…
Superlattice engineering in van der Waals heterostructures (e.\,g.\ by moir\'e engineering) provides a powerful platform for designing electronic bands and realising correlated and topological quantum phenomena. Here, we pioneer a scheme to…
We report on the results of the first-principle numerical study of spontaneous breaking of chiral (sublattice) symmetry in suspended monolayer graphene due to electrostatic interaction, which takes into account the screening of Coulomb…
Extensive investigations on the Moir\'e magic-angle have been conducted in twisted bilayer graphene, unlocking the mystery of unconventional superconductivity and insulating states. In analog to magic angle, here we demonstrate the new…
The dynamic polarization for kekul\'e-patterned graphene is studied within the Random Phase Approximation (RPA). It is shown how the breaking of the valley degeneracy by the lattice modulation is manifested through the dielectric spectrum,…
We study the local density of states at and around a substituting impurity and use these results to compute current versus bias characteristic curves of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) experiments done on the surface of graphene. This…
We present a systematic classification and analysis of possible pairing instabilities in graphene-based moir\'e superlattices. Motivated by recent experiments on twisted double-bilayer graphene showing signs of triplet superconductivity, we…
We propose a chiral symmetry restoration mechanism in monolayer graphene, in analogy with the strongly coupled gauge theory. The chiral (sublattice) symmetry of graphene, which is spontaneously broken under the effectively strong Coulomb…
