Flat band in twisted graphene I: Evolution of flat band near the Magic Angle in twisted bilayer graphene

ORAL

Abstract

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) exhibits intriguing correlated phenomena, whose central physics is related to the flat band near the Fermi energy. Such flat band not only depends on the moiré period, but is also expected to be sensitively affected by lattice relaxations, which has remained elusive so far due to the lack of a systematic evolution of energy- and momentum-resolved electronic structure with the twist angle. To figure out the important role of lattice relaxion in MATBG, we combine NanoARPES, AFM measurements and theoretical calculations to reveal the evolution of band structure near magic angle. Our results not only provide direct spectroscopic information for understanding the flat band physics, but also highlight the critical role of lattice relaxations in the electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene.
