Physicists realize a topological Mott insulator in twisted bilayer graphene
Sep 27, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Imagine stacking two sheets of graphene – the 2D form of graphite, or the pencil at your hand – in which the carbon atoms form a hexagonal lattice and twist the top sheet out of alignment with the sheet below, yielding a periodic arrangement of...
