Topological piezoelectric response in moiré graphene systems

We theoretically study the piezoelectric effects in moirè graphene systems. Since the strain couples to the electrons in the system as an effective vector field, which has opposite signs for the K and K^{′} valleys of graphene, its effects on the two valleys with opposite Chern numbers do not cancel...
