SUMMARY:Continuum field theory of graphene bilayer system
DESCRIPTION:Topological Quantum Matter Seminar \nSpeaker: Jian Kang\, School of Physical Science and Technology\, ShanghaiTech University\, Shanghai\, China \nTitle: Continuum field theory of graphene bilayer system \nAbstract: The Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) model predicted the existence of the narrow bands in the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG)\, and nowadays is a starting point for most theoretical works. In this talk\, I will briefly review the BM model and then present a continuum field theory [1] for graphene bilayer system allowing any smooth lattice deformation including the small twist angle. With the gradient expansion to the second order\, the continuum theory for MATBG [2] produces the spectrum that almost perfectly matches the spectrum of the microscopic model\, suggesting the validity of this theory. In the presence of the lattice deformation\, the inclusion of the pseudo-vector potential does not destroy but shift the flat band chiral limit to a smaller twist angle. Furthermore\, the continuum theory contains another important interlayer tunneling term that was overlooked in all previous works. This term non-negligibly breaks the particle-hole symmetry of the narrow bands and may be related with the experimentally observed particle-hole asymmetry. \n1. O.
