Chern bands of twisted bilayer graphene: Fractional Chern insulators and spin phase transition

When one of the graphene layers of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene is nearly aligned with its hexagonal boron nitride substrate (a configuration dubbed TBG/hBN), the active electronic bands are nearly flat and have a Chern number C=±1. Recent experiments demonstrated a quantum anomalous Hall ef...
