Double flat bands in kagome twisted bilayers

Abstract

We have studied how a generic bilayer kagome lattice behave upon layer rotation. We employed a Tight Binding model with one orbital per site and found (i) for low rotational angles, and at low energies, the same flat bands structure like in twisted bilayer graphene; though, for a larger value of the magic angle. Moreover, (ii) at high energies, due to the superstructure symmetry regions, we found the characteristics three band dispersion of the kagome lattice. In the latter, its band width decreases for lower angles confining them within a few meV. Therefore, we found in twisted kagome lattice the coexistence of two sets of flat bands in different energies and lying in different spatial regions of the bilayer system.
