▎ 摘  要

The moire of twisted graphene bilayers can generate flat bands in which charge carriers do not possess enough kinetic energy to escape Coulomb interactions with each other, leading to the formation of novel strongly correlated electronic states. This exceptionally rich physics relies on the precise arrangement between the layers. Here, we survey published scanning tunneling microscope measurements to prove that near the magic-angle, native heterostrain, the relative deformations between the layers, dominates twist in determining the flat bands as opposed to the common belief. This is demonstrated at full filling where electronic correlations have a weak effect and where we also show that tip-induced strain can have a strong influence. In the opposite situation of zero doping, we find that electronic correlation further renormalizes the flat bands in a way that strongly depends on experimental details.
