Moiré Flat Bands of Twisted Few-layer Graphite

Abstract: We report that the twisted few layer graphite (tFL-graphite) is a new family of moiré heterostructures (MHSs), which has richer and highly tunable moiré flat band structures entirely distinct from all the known MHSs. A tFL-graphite is composed of two few-layer graphite (Bernal stacked multilayer graphene), which are stacked on each other with a small twisted angle. The moiré band structure of the tFL-graphite strongly depends on the layer number of its composed two van der Waals layers. Near the magic angle, a… Show more

“…In contrast, the CTTLG is a perfect metal gapless at all energies 33 . Meanwhile, using different kinds of vdW layers also can give rise to various moiré band structures 39,[44][45][46] . In double twisted TLG, the three vdW layers are all monolayer graphene (MLG).…”

“…The electronic structure of TMLG depends on the stacking orders of the FLGs and the twist angle (θ) 32,[36][37][38][39][40][41] . The flat bands around the Fermi level (E F ) of TMLG were found to be entangled with each other or with other dispersive bands by band crossings 32,[38][39][40][41] .…”

“…Most studies introduced external electric field to separate the flat bands so that their band topology becomes well defined, while the produced C is limited to small values 39,41 . For TMLG composed of chirally stacked FLGs, the flat valence and conduction bands in a valley can be separated from other bands and their total C were demonstrated to increase with the layer numbers of TMLG 32 .…”

“…Actually, MFB is a general phenomenon of moiré heterostructures (MHSs). It exists in many other similar MHSs, such as twisted double bilayer graphene [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], twisted trilayer graphene [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], trilayer graphene on boron nitride [33][34][35], twisted few layer graphite [36,37], etc. Interestingly, the MFBs in some of these MHSs are topological nontrivial [12-15, 24, 38, 39], and topological phenomena, e.g.…”

“…The other is the (ABA+ABA)-type twisted FLG, which is a single twist MHS. Though it also has four bands near E f at the two inequivalent Dirac points of the moiré BZ, a single twist can only induce one pair of MFBs at zero energy as well [36]. Our calculations indicate that all the DTFLG with N ≥ 3, meeting these two requirements above, have two pairs of degenerate MFBs at the magic angle about 1.08 • , the magic angle of which is the same as that of TBG but different from that of the double twisted trilayer graphene (about 1.5 • ) [43].…”
