Twisted bilayer graphene from first-principles: structural and electronic properties

Albert Zhu, Daniel Bennett, Daniel T. Larson +3

We present a comprehensive first-principles study of twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) for a wide range of twist angles, with a focus on structural and electronic properties. By empl…

Switching topological states via uniaxial strain in 2D materials

Joshua J. Sanchez, Raagya Aurora, Daniel Bennett +3

In topological materials, dissipationless edge currents are protected against local defect scattering by the bulk inverted band structure and band gap. We propose that large uniaxi…

Universal Symmetries in Twisted Moiré Materials

Mohammed M. Al Ezzi, Albert Zhu, Daniel Bennett +2

Two-dimensional multi-layer materials with an induced moiré pattern, either due to strain or relative twist between layers, provide a versatile platform for exploring strongly corr…

Accurate and efficient localized basis sets for two-dimensional materials

Daniel Bennett, Michele Pizzochero, Javier Junquera +1

First-principles density functional theory (DFT) codes which employ a localized basis offer advantages over those which use plane-wave bases, such as better scaling with system siz…
