AI总结:

本文建立了扭曲双层石墨烯晶格动力学的连续介质模型,发现高频面内声子模式在近似条件下出现平带和有限魔角,并指出恢复势使精确建模中魔角消失,且声子平带化可通过扭曲角调控并可由光谱学观测。

摘要:

将双层石墨烯片进行扭曲已被证明是调控电子类狄拉克性质的有效方法,从而在魔角处产生平带。受电子模型的启发,我们建立了扭曲双层石墨烯晶格动力学的连续介质模型,并证明显著的能带平坦化适用于几乎所有高频面内晶格振动模式,包括谷狄拉克声子、谷光学声子和区中心光学声子带。利用近似方法,我们估计了较小但有限的魔角,在这些角度下预期声子带宽消失。与电子情况不同,恢复势的存在阻止了在更精确的建模中出现魔角。所预测的声子能带平坦化可通过扭曲角高度调控,并且这种强依赖关系可直接通过光谱学工具进行观测。

英文摘要:

Twisting bilayer sheets of graphene have been proven to be an efficient way to manipulate the electronic Dirac-like properties, resulting in flat bands at magic angles. Inspired by the electronic model, we develop a continuum model for the lattice dynamics of twisted bilayer graphene and we show that a remarkable band flattening applies to almost all the high-frequency in-plane lattice vibration modes, including the valley Dirac phonon, valley optical phonon, and zone-center optical phonon bands. Utilizing an approximate approach, we estimate small but finite magic angles at which a vanishing phonon bandwidth is expected. In contrast to the electronic case, the existence of a restoring potential prohibits the emergence of a magic angle in a more accurate modeling. The predicted phonon band-flattening is highly tunable by the twist angle and this strong dependence is directly accessible by spectroscopic tools.
