Title
Bifurcating Caves
Technique
High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy (HRSEM)Simulation of spectral properties
Description
Effective band structure of a quasicrystalline sample of twisted bilayer graphene. The bands do not have a commensurate Brillouin zone and follow a quasiperiodic pattern like the real-space structure. Bands with vanishing intensity are high-order contributions, and bands with high-intensity have stronger contributions to the effective band structure. The title comes from the imaginary resemblance with arcs, that form infinite bifurcating caves.
