Moiré Patterns and Electronic Structures in Van der Waals Atomic Layer Materials

Abstract

We present an overview of recent studies on the moiré superlattices in Van der Waals atomic layer materials. We first introduce typical moiré superlattices such as twisted bilayer graphene and graphene h-BN superlattice. We also argue about the Hofstadter fractal energy spectrum in magnetic fields, the strain effect and domain formation, and the graphene quasicrystals
