Physical properties of twisted bilayer graphene. (a) Schematic illustration and STS results of the new van Hove singularities of twisted bilayer graphene. The interlayer interaction leads to the formation of van Hove singularities, and they correspond to the two peaks in STS measurements. The relation between the singularity energy separation and the twist angle is also shown. Reprinted with permission from Ref. [27]. Copyright 2012, American Physical Society.
