Large-scale real-space density-functional calculations: Moiré-induced electron localization in graphene

  • 1. Department of Applied Physics, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8656 (Japan)

Description

We show that our real-space finite-difference scheme allows us to perform density-functional calculations for nanometer-scale targets containing more than 100 000 atoms. This real-space scheme is applied to twisted bilayer graphene, clarifying that Moiré pattern induced in the slightly twisted bilayer graphene drastically modifies the atomic and electronic structures
