Electronic-structure methods for twisted moiré layers

S Carr, S Fang, E Kaxiras - Nature Reviews Materials, 2020 - nature.com
When single layers of 2D materials are stacked on top of one another with a small twist in
orientation, the resulting structure often involves incommensurate moiré patterns. In these …
