Abstract:

Incommensurate structures come from stacking the single layers of low-dimensional materials on top of one another with misalignment such as a twist in orientation. While these structures are of significant physical interest, they pose many theoretical challenges due to the loss of periodicity. In this study, we characterize the density of states for incommensurate systems, and develop novel numerical methods to evaluate it using planewave approximation.
