We propose that flat bands and van Hove singularities near the magic angle can be stabilized against angle disorder in the twisted Kane-Mele model. With continuum model and maximally localized Wannier function approaches, we identify a…
In commensurate twisted homobilayers, purely radial Rashba spin-orbit fields can emerge. We employ first-principles calculations to investigate the band structures and the spin-orbit fields close to the high-symmetry points $K$ and $\Gamma$…
Moir\'e superlattices in the twisted bilayer graphene provide an unprecedented platform to investigate a wide range of exotic quantum phenomena. Recently, the twist degree of freedom has been introduced into various classical wave systems,…
In twisted bilayer graphene, long-wavelength lattice fluctuations on the scale of the moir\'e period are dominated by phason modes, i.e., acoustic branches of the incommensurate lattice resulting from coherent superpositions of optical…
We study the electronic properties of twisted bilayers graphene in the tight-binding approximation. The interlayer hopping amplitude is modeled by a function, which depends not only on the distance between two carbon atoms, but also on the…
Existence and stability of Dirac points in the dispersion relation of operators periodic with respect to the hexagonal lattice is investigated for different sets of additional symmetries. The following symmetries are considered: rotation by…
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…
The diverse and intriguing phenomena observed in twisted bilayer systems, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, prompted new questions about the emergent effects that they may host. However, the practical challenge of…
We study the commensurately-tilted bilayer graphene in the tight-binding model with changing the interlayer distance, which can be tuned by pressure. We find that at the commensurately-tilted bilayer graphene with moderate rotating angles,…
Forming long wavelength moir\'e superlattices (MSL) at small-angle twist van der Waals (vdW) bilayers has been a key approach to creating moir\'e flat bands. The small-angle twist, however, leads to strong lattice reconstruction, causing…
We employ ab-initio electronic structure calculations to investigate the charge-density waves and periodic lattice distortions in bilayer 2H-NbSe$_2$. We demonstrate that the vertical stacking can give rise to a variety of patterns that may…
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…
Strongly correlated states are commonly emerged in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) with magic-angle, where the electron-electron (e-e) interaction U becomes prominent relative to the small bandwidth W of the nearly flat band. However, the…
Twist angle engineering in van der Waals homo and hetero-bilayers introduces profound modifications in their electronic, optical and mechanical properties due to lattice reconstruction. In these systems, the interlayer coupling and atomic…
Correlated electron materials with molecular orbital states extending over transition metal clusters can host multiferroicity, spin frustration, and unconventional insulating phases. However, the fundamental criteria that govern cluster…
We derive the general continuum model for a bilayer system of staggered-flux square lattices, with arbitrary elastic deformation in each layer. Applying this general continuum model to the case where the two layers are rigidly rotated…
Static friction induced by moir\'e superstructure in twisted incommensurate finite layered material interfaces reveals unique double periodicity and lack of scaling with contact size. The underlying mechanism involves compensation of…
In the emerging world of twisted bilayer structures, the possible configurations are limitless, which enables for a rich landscape of electronic properties. In this paper, we focus on twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)…
Evidence of flat-band magnetism and half-metallicity in compressed twisted bilayer graphene is provided with first-principles calculations. We show that dynamic band-structure engineering in twisted bilayer graphene is possible by…
Electrons in quantum materials exhibiting coexistence of dispersionless (flat) bands piercing dispersive (steep) bands can give rise to strongly correlated phenomena, and are associated with unconventional superconductivity. It is known…
