Perfect one-dimensional chiral states in biased twisted bilayer graphene
arXiv:2001.06257 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.125409
Abstract
We theoretically study the electronic structure of small-angle twisted bilayer graphene with a large potential asymmetry between the top and bottom layers. We show that the emergent helical states known to appear on the triangular AB-BA domain boundary do not actually form a percolating network, but instead they provide independent, perfect one-dimensional channels propagating in three different directions. Using the continuum-model Hamiltonian, we demonstrate that an applied bias causes two well-defined energy windows which contain sparsely distributed one-dimensional channels. The origin of these energy windows can be understood using a two-band model of the intersecting electron and hole bands of single layer graphene. We also use the tight-binding model to implement the lattice deformations in twisted bilayer graphene, and discuss the effect of lattice relaxation on the one-dimensional channels.
