Exact continuum model for low-energy electronic states of twisted bilayer graphene

We introduce a complete physical model for the single-particle electronic structure of twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG), which incorporates the crucial role of lattice relaxation. Our model, based on k·p perturbation theory and openly available, combines the accuracy of density functional theory calc...
