Valley Jahn-Teller Effect in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

The surprising insulating and superconducting states of narrow-band graphene twisted bilayers have been mostly discussed so far in terms of strong electron correlation, with little or no attention to phonons and electron-phonon effects. We found that, among the 33 492 phonons of a fully relaxed θ=1....
