Symmetry, Maximally Localized Wannier States, and a Low-Energy Model for Twisted Bilayer Graphene Narrow Bands

We build symmetry-adapted maximally localized Wannier states and construct the low-energy tight-binding model for the four narrow bands of twisted bilayer graphene. We do so when the twist angle is commensurate near the “magic” value and the narrow bands are separated from the rest of the bands by e...
