ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.84.045436 | Abstract: | We show that a twisted graphene bilayer can reveal unusual topological properties at low energies, as a consequence of a Dirac-point splitting. These features rely on a symmetry analysis of the electron hopping between the two layers of graphene and we derive a simplified effective low-energy Hamiltonian which captures the essential topological properties of a twisted graphene bilayer. The corresponding Landau levels peculiarly reveal a degenerate zero-energy mode which cannot be lifted by strong magnetic fields. © 2011 American Physical Society. | Source Title: | Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98424 | ISSN: | 10980121 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevB.84.045436 |
