Bernal bilayer graphene exhibits a band gap that is tunable through the infrared with an electric field. We show that sublattice odd commensurate twisted bilayer graphene (C-TBG) exhibits a band gap that is tunable through the terahertz with an electric field. We show that from the perspective...
A major theoretical challenge of studying twisted transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers is that the unit cell of such structures is very large and therefore difficult to address using first-principles methods. However, twisted TMD bilayers form moir\'e patterns, which consist of regions of...
Exploiting density functional theory and tight-binding calculation, we investigate the impacts of in-plane strain on two different classes of commensurate twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) which are even/odd under sublattice exchange (SE) parity. We find that the SE odd TBG remains gapless whereas ...

Graphene and layered materials in general exhibit rich physics and application potential owing to their exceptional electronic properties, which arise from the intricate 蟺-orbital coupling and the symmetry breaking in twisted bilayer systems. Here, we report room-temperature experiments to study ...
The interest in these moire superstructures has increased tremendously since the recent observation of a superconducting state (Nature 2018, 556, 43-50) and metal-insulator transition (Nature 2018, 556, 80-84) in twisted bilayer graphene. In this regard, a straightforward and efficient experimental...
