准周期性、能带拓扑和莫尔石墨烯

Quasiperiodicity, band topology, and moiré graphene

Dan Mao, T. Senthil

摘要:

许多莫尔石墨烯系统具有几乎平坦的拓扑带,其中电子运动强烈相关。虽然在微观上这些系统只是准周期的,但它们通常可以被视为平移不变量,以获得良好的近似。在这里,我们重新考虑这个问题的魔角扭曲的双层石墨烯,几乎与六方氮化硼(h-BN)基板对齐。我们仔细研究了h-BN诱导的周期势对低能物理的影响。该势和由扭曲石墨烯产生的莫尔晶格的组合产生了准周期项,该准周期项取决于h-BN和莫尔石墨烯之间的对准角。我们发现取向角对电中性附近的带隙和电输运行为都有显着影响。我们还介绍和研究玩具模型,以说明如何准周期的潜力可以引起本地化和拓扑带的输运性质的变化。

英文摘要:

A number of moiré graphene systems have nearly flat topological bands where electron motion is strongly correlated. Though microscopically these systems are only quasiperiodic, they can typically be treated as translation invariant to an excellent approximation. Here we reconsider this question for magic angle twisted bilayer graphene that is nearly aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) substrate. We carefully study the effect of the periodic potential induced by h-BN on the low energy physics. The combination of this potential and the moiré lattice produced by the twisted graphene generates a quasi-periodic term that depends on the alignment angle between h-BN and the moiré graphene. We find that the alignment angle has a significant impact on both the band gap near charge neutrality and the behavior of electrical transport. We also introduce and study toy models to illustrate how a quasi-periodic potential can give rise to localization and change in transport properties of topological bands.
