Duality between atomic configurations and Bloch states in twistronic materials

The relative orientation (twist) of successive layers of stacked two-dimensional (2D) materials creates variations in the interlayer atomic registry. The variations often form a superlattice, called a moiré pattern, which can alter electronic properties. In this work we introduce a classification of...
