Electronic properties of twisted bilayer nanoribbons
We study the band structure, density of states, and spatial localization of edge states in twisted bilayer graphene nanoribbons. We devise these ribbons by cutting a stripe of commensurate twisted bilayer graphene along a direction with a maximum number of zigzag edge atoms. Due to the spatially inhomogeneous interlayer coupling, edge states stemming from regions with AB stacking are closer to ...
متن کاملOn the Calculation of Room Temperature Correlated Interlayer Transport in Bilayer Heterojunction Systems
We discuss a methodology for calculating the interlayer transport characteristics of electron-hole bilayer graphene at spontaneous coherence using path integral Monte Carlo and recursive scattering matrices at room temperature. We find transport characteristics very similar to that of the quantum Hall bilayer case in that there is a large peak in the differential interlayer conductance at low i...
متن کاملQuantum Hall effect, screening, and layer-polarized insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene.
We investigate electronic transport in dual-gated twisted-bilayer graphene. Despite the subnanometer proximity between the layers, we identify independent contributions to the magnetoresistance from the graphene Landau level spectrum of each layer. We demonstrate that the filling factor of each layer can be independently controlled via the dual gates, which we use to induce Landau level crossin...
متن کاملFractal Landau-level spectra in twisted bilayer graphene.
The Hofstadter butterfly spectrum for Landau levels in a two-dimensional periodic lattice is a rare example exhibiting fractal properties in a truly quantum system. However, the observation of this physical phenomenon in a conventional material will require a magnetic field strength several orders of magnitude larger than what can be produced in a modern laboratory. It turns out that for a spec...
متن کاملTwisting bilayer graphene superlattices.
Bilayer graphene is an intriguing material in that its electronic structure can be altered by changing the stacking order or the relative twist angle, yielding a new class of low-dimensional carbon system. Twisted bilayer graphene can be obtained by (i) thermal decomposition of SiC; (ii) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metal catalysts; (iii) folding graphene; or (iv) stacking graphene layers...
