We use a tight binding approach and density functional theory calculations to study the band structure of graphene/hexagonal boron nitride bilayer system in the most stable configuration. We show that an electric field applied in the…
Twisted bilayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (TBG/hBN) hosts rich topological and correlated quantum phases, such as (fractional) Chern insulators, whose character is dictated by the topology of the moir\'{e} flat band.…
In heterostructures consisting of atomically thin crystals layered on top of one another, lattice mismatch or rotation between the layers results in long-wavelength moir\'e superlattices. These moir\'e patterns can drive significant band…
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…
A number of moir\'e graphene systems have nearly flat topological bands where electron motion is strongly correlated. Though microscopically these systems are only quasiperiodic, they can typically be treated as translation invariant to an…
Two-dimensional (2D) bilayers, twisted to particular angles to display electronic flat bands, are being extensively explored for physics of strongly correlated 2D systems. However, the similar rich physics of one-dimensional (1D) strongly…
