Recently, the twist angle between adjacent sheets of stacked van der Waals materials emerged as a new knob to engineer correlated states of matter in two-dimensional heterostructures in a controlled manner, giving rise to emergent phenomena such as superconductivity or correlated insulating states. Here,we use an ab initio based approach to characterize the electronic properties of twisted bilayer MoS2. We report that, in marked contrast to twisted bilayer graphene, slightly hole-doped MoS2 realizes a strongly asymmetric px-py Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice, with two almost entirely dispersionless bands emerging due to destructive interference. We study the collective behavior of twisted bilayer MoS2 in the presence of interactions, and characterize an array of different magnetic and orbitally-ordered correlated phases,which may be susceptible to quantum fluctuations giving rise to exotic, purely quantum, states of matter.

The charge susceptibility of twisted bilayer graphene is investigated in the Dirac cone, respectively random-phase approximation. For small enough twist angles $thetalesssim 2^circ$ we find weakly Landau damped interband plasmons, i.~e., collective e
xcitonic modes which exist in the undoped material, with an almost constant energy dispersion. In this regime, the loss function can be described as a Fano resonance and we argue that these excitations arise from the interaction of quasi-localised states with the incident light field. These predictions can be tested by nano-infrared imaging and possible applications include a perfect lens without the need of left-handed materials.
We present electronic structure calculations of twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG): A tetralayer graphene structure composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers with a relative rotation angle between them. Using first-principles calculations, we
find that TDBG is semiconducting with a band gap that depends on the twist angle, that can be tuned by an external electric field. The gap is consistent with TDBG symmetry and its magnitude is related to surface effects, driving electron transfer from outer to inner layers. The surface effect competes with an energy upshift of localized states at inner layers, giving rise to the peculiar angle dependence of the band gap, which reduces at low angles. For these low twist angles, the TDBG develops flat bands, in which electrons in the inner layers are localized at the AA regions, as in twisted bilayer graphene.
Twisted two-dimensional structures open new possibilities in band structure engineering. At magic twist angles, flat bands emerge, which give a new drive to the field of strongly correlated physics. In twisted double bilayer graphene dual gating allo
ws changing the Fermi level and hence the electron density and also allows tuning the interlayer potential, giving further control over band gaps. Here, we demonstrate that by applying hydrostatic pressure, an additional control of the band structure becomes possible due to the change of tunnel couplings between the layers. We find that the flat bands and the gaps separating them can be drastically changed by pressures up to 2 GPa, in good agreement with our theoretical simulations. Furthermore, our measurements suggest that in finite magnetic field due to pressure a topologically non-trivial band gap opens at the charge neutrality point at zero displacement field.
We study the influence of strong spin-orbit interaction on the formation of flat bands in relaxed twisted bilayer WSe$_2$. Flat bands, well separated in energy, emerge at the band edges for twist angles ($theta$) close to 0$^o$ and 60$^o$. For $theta
$ close to 0$^o$, the interlayer hybridization together with a moir{e} potential determines the electronic structure. The bands near the valence band edge have non-trivial topology, with Chern numbers equal to +1 or $-$1. We propose that this can be probed experimentally for twist angles less than a critical angle of 3.5$^o$. For $theta$ near 60$^o$, the flattening of the bands arising from the K point of the unit cell Brillouin zone is a result of atomic rearrangements in the individual layers. Our findings on the flat bands and the localization of their wavefunctions for both ranges of $theta$ match well with recent experimental observations [1,2].
Twisted graphene bilayers provide a versatile platform to engineer metamaterials with novel emergent properties by exploiting the resulting geometric moir{e} superlattice. Such superlattices are known to host bulk valley currents at tiny angles ($alp
haapprox 0.3 ^circ$) and flat bands at magic angles ($alpha approx 1^circ$). We show that tuning the twist angle to $alpha^*approx 0.8^circ$ generates flat bands away from charge neutrality with a triangular superlattice periodicity. When doped with $pm 6$ electrons per moire cell, these bands are half-filled and electronic interactions produce a symmetry-broken ground state (Stoner instability) with spin-polarized regions that order ferromagnetically. Application of an interlayer electric field breaks inversion symmetry and introduces valley-dependent dispersion that quenches the magnetic order. With these results, we propose a solid-state platform that realizes electrically tunable strong correlations.
