Commensuration and interlayer coherence in twisted bilayer graphene

Open access
Mele, E. J.·2010·Physical Review B

Abstract

The low-energy electronic spectra of rotationally faulted graphene bilayers are studied using a long-wavelength theory applicable to general commensurate fault angles. Lattice commensuration requires low-energy electronic coherence across a fault and pre-empts massless Dirac behavior near the neutrality point. Sublattice exchange symmetry distinguishes two families of commensurate faults that have distinct low-energy spectra which can be interpreted as energy-renormalized forms of the spectra for the limiting Bernal and $AA$ stacked structures. Sublattice-symmetric faults are generically fully gapped systems due to a pseudospin-orbit coupling appearing in their effective low-energy Hamiltonians.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
