Extended Fractional Chern Insulators Near Half Flux in Twisted Bilayer Graphene Above the Magic Angle
Joe Finney, Aaron L. Sharpe, Linsey K. Rodenbach +7
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) -- the lattice analog of fractional quantum Hall states -- form as fractionalized quasiparticles emerge in a partially-filled Chern band. This fr…

Kekulé Spiral Order from Strained Topological Heavy Fermions
Jonah Herzog-Arbeitman, Dumitru Călugăru, Haoyu Hu +5
The topological heavy fermion (THF) model of twisted bilayer graphene is a framework for treating its strongly interacting topological flat bands. In this work, we employ the THF m…

Analytical solution for the relaxed atomic configuration of twisted bilayer graphene including heterostrain
Jian Kang, Oskar Vafek
Continuum atomic relaxation models for twisted bilayer graphene involve minimization of the sum of intralayer elastic energy and interlayer adhesion energy. The elastic energy favo…
