Disorder in twisted bilayer graphene

We develop a theory for a type of disorder in condensed matter systems arising from local twist-angle fluctuations in two strongly coupled van der Waals monolayers twisted with respect to each other to create a flat-band moiré superlattice. The paradigm of “twist-angle disorder” arises from the curr...
