Description

@spinlessFermion1729

I would like to contribute a replication of "Optical absorption in twisted bilayer graphene" by Pilkyung Moon and Mikito Koshino.

Why this contribution is important:

  • Benchmarking: It provides a comprehensive comparison between tight-binding and effective continuum models for optical conductivity.
  • Feature Validation: The paper identifies spectroscopic "fingerprints" of rotation angles, specifically peaks associated with van Hove singularities.
  • Selection Rules: It analytically explains optical selection rules through Hamiltonian symmetry, serving as an excellent pedagogical example for MoirePy users.

Deliverables:
A Jupyter Notebook replicating the band structure presented in (Fig. 4a).
