Twisted magnetic van der Waals bilayers: An ideal platform for altermagnetism

Y Liu, J Yu, CC Liu - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We introduce a universal methodology for generating and manipulating altermagnetism in
two-dimensional (2D) magnetic Van der Waals (MvdW) materials through twisting. We find …

A primer on twistronics: a massless dirac fermion's journey to moiré patterns and flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene

D Aggarwal, R Narula, S Ghosh - Journal of Physics: Condensed …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The recent discovery of superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG)
has sparked a renewed interest in the strongly-correlated physics of sp 2 carbons, in stark …

3/2 magic angle quantization rule of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene and its relationship to the quantum Hall effect

LA Navarro-Labastida, GG Naumis - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Flat band electronic modes in twisted graphene bilayers are responsible for
superconducting and other highly correlated electron-electron phases. Although some hints …

Flat bands and electronic localization in twisted bilayer graphene nanoribbons

E Andrade, PA Pantaleón, F Guinea, GG Naumis - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We analyze the electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) nanoribbons close to
the magic angle. We describe a transition from an incomplete to a complete moiré structure …

Topological invariants in two-dimensional quasicrystals

M Koshino, H Oka - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We provide a topological concept to characterize energy gaps in general two-dimensional
quasiperiodic systems. We show that every single gap is uniquely characterized by a set of …

Why the first magic-angle is different from others in twisted graphene bilayers: Interlayer currents, kinetic and confinement energy, and wave-function localization

LA Navarro-Labastida, A Espinosa-Champo… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
The chiral Hamiltonian for twisted graphene bilayers is analyzed in terms of its squared
Hamiltonian which removes the particle-hole symmetry and thus one bipartite lattice …

Atomistic theory of the moiré Hofstadter butterfly in magic-angle graphene

A Wania Rodrigues, M Bieniek, P Potasz, D Miravet… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We present here a Hofstadter's butterfly spectrum for the magic-angle twisted bilayer
graphene obtained using an ab initio-based multimillion-atom tight-binding model. We …

Absence of edge states in the valley Chern insulator in moiré graphene

A Khalifa, G Murthy, RK Kaul - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the edge spectrum of twisted sheets of single layer and bilayer graphene in cases
where the continuum model predicts a valley Chern insulator—an insulating state in which …

Topological gap labeling with third chern numbers in three-dimensional quasicrystals

K Yamamoto, M Koshino - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study the topological gap labeling of general three-dimensional (3D) quasicrystals and
we find that every gap in the spectrum is characterized by a set of third Chern numbers. We …

Topological charge pumping in quasiperiodic systems characterized by the Bott index

M Yoshii, S Kitamura, T Morimoto - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study topological charge pumping in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems. Since
these systems lack periodicity, we cannot use the conventional approach based on the …
