Multi-moiré trilayer graphene: Lattice relaxation, electronic structure, and magic angles
Charles Yang, Julian May-Mann, Ziyan Zhu, Trithep Devakul
Abstract
As the number of layers in a moir\'e material increases, so does the dimensionality of their twist angle phase space. The authors study here trilayer graphene systems, identifying a ``magic line'' of configurations they expect to demonstrate strongly-correlated behavior. Some configurations are predicted to mechanically relax into a network of domains, which may exhibit topological or superconducting phases.
