Evidence for Interlayer Coupling and Moiré Periodic Potentials in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

Abstract

We report a study of the valence band dispersion of twisted bilayer graphene using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. We observe two noninteracting cones near the Dirac crossing energy and the emergence of van Hove singularities where the cones overlap for large twist angles (>5°). Besides the expected interaction between the Dirac cones, minigaps appeared at the Brillouin zone boundaries of the moiré superlattice formed by the misorientation of the two graphene layers. We attribute the emergence of these minigaps to a periodic potential induced by the moiré. These anticrossing features point to coupling between the two graphene sheets, mediated by moiré periodic potentials.

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.
