We identify states favored by Coulomb interactions projected onto the Wannier basis of the four narrow bands of the "magic angle" twisted bilayer graphene. At the filling of 2 electrons/holes per moiré unit cell, such interactions favor an insulating SU(4) ferromagnet. The kinetic terms select the ground state in which the two valleys with opposite spins are equally mixed, with a vanishing magnetic moment per particle. We also find extended excited states, the gap to which decreases in the magnetic field. An insulating stripe ferromagnetic phase is favored at 1 electron/hole per unit cell.
我们确定了库仑相互作用所青睐的状态,这些状态投影到“魔角”扭曲双层石墨烯的四个窄带的万尼尔基上。在每个莫尔晶胞填充2个电子/空穴时,这种相互作用有利于形成绝缘的SU(4)铁磁体。动力学项选择了基态,其中具有相反自旋的两个谷被均匀混合,每个粒子的磁矩消失。我们还发现了扩展的激发态,其能隙在磁场中减小。在每个晶胞填充1个电子/空穴时,有利于形成绝缘条纹铁磁相。
