Experiments on bilayer graphene unveiled a fascinating realization of stacking disorder where triangular domains with well-defined Bernal stacking are delimited by a hexagonal network of strain solitons. Here we show by means of numerical…
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) stands as one of the most versatile materials in condensed-matter physics due to its hosting of a wide variety of exotic phases while also offering convenient tunability. However, the fabrication…
The relative twist angle between layers of near-lattice-matched van der Waals materials is critical for the emergent correlated phenomena associated with moire flat bands. However, the concept of angle rotation control is not exclusive to…
By means of atomistic tight-binding calculations, we investigate the effects of uniaxial strain on the electronic bandstructure of twisted graphene bilayer. We find that the bandstructure is dramatically deformed and the degeneracy of the…
Control of the interlayer twist angle in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures enables one to engineer a quasiperiodic moir\'e superlattice of tunable length scale. In twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), the simple moir\'e…
Kagome lattice bilayers offer unique opportunities for engineering electronic properties through interlayer stacking and strain. We report a comprehensive first-principles study of Pd$_3$O$_2$Cl$_2$ kagome bilayers, examining four stacking…
Stacking two graphene layers twisted by the 'magic angle' $\theta \approx 1.1^\circ$ generates flat energy bands, which in turn catalyzes various strongly correlated phenomena depending on filling and sample details. At charge neutrality,…
Controlling the stacking and rotational registry of graphene layers provides a powerful handle on atomic-scale structural reconstructions that alter the electronic landscape at the nanoscale. In particular, this governs how massless and…
We have surveyed the in-plane transport properties of the graphene twist bilayer using (i) a low-energy effective Hamiltonian for the underlying electronic structure, (ii) an isotropic elastic phonon model, and (iii) the linear Boltzmann…
We study the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on the non-interacting dispersion of twisted bilayer graphene. Our analysis is rooted in the chirally symmetric continuum model, whose zero-field band structure hosts exactly flat bands and…
We report calculations of terahertz ellipticities in large-angle, 21.79$^\circ$ and 38.21$^\circ$, commensurate twisted bilayer graphene, and predict values as high as 1.5 millidegrees in the terahertz region for this non-magnetic material.…
A graphene bilayer is known to perfectly reflect normally incident electrons due to their chirality. This is similar to Klein tunneling, which, in a monolayer, is instead responsible for perfect transmission at normal incidence. Stacking…
Van der Waals heteroepitaxy allows deterministic control over lattice mismatch or azimuthal orientation between atomic layers to produce long wavelength superlattices. The resulting electronic phases depend critically on the superlattice…
A novel bilayer is introduced, consisting of a stiff film adhered to a soft substrate with patterned holes beneath the film and substrate interface. To uncover the transition of surface patterns, two dimensional plane strain simulations are…
The electronic properties of van der Waals (vdW) structures can be substantially modified by the moire superlattice potential, which strongly depends on the twist angle among the compounds. In twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), two low-energy…
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…
We report an experimental study of carrier density (n), displacement field (D) and twist angle ({\theta}) dependence of temperature (T)-linear resistivity in twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG). For a large twist angle…
The recent discovery of superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has sparked a renewed interest in the strongly-correlated physics of $sp^2$ carbons, in stark contrast to preliminary investigations which were dominated by…
Band engineering in twisted bilayers of the five generic two-dimensional Bravais networks is demonstrated. We first derive symmetry-based constraints on the interlayer coupling, which helps us to predict and understand the shape of the…
Recent research showed that the rotational degree of freedom in stacking 2D materials yields great changes in the electronic properties. Here we focus on an often overlooked question: are twisted geometries stable and what defines their…
