▎ 摘  要

Twisted bilayer and multilayer two-dimensional materials linked by van der Waals interactions exhibit various unique physical properties. The phonon properties of such systems are of great importance, but have not been explored in detail. In this work, we use a hybrid neural-network potential to systematically investigate the evolution of the phonon structure of twisted multilayer graphene under out-of-plane strain. With increasing out-of-plane strain, the evolution of the phonon structure of the moire superlattice exhibits different behavior from that of AA and AB stacked multilayer graphene. Meanwhile, with twisting of the interlayer, a higher Gruneisen parameter and a lower phonon group velocity can be obtained. A possible method is revealed by which phonon anharmonic scattering in stacked multilayer graphene could be enhanced by varying the twist angle in combination with out-of-plane strain. Our work shows that the application of out-of-plane strain can serve as an effective way to amplify the effect of twist angle on phonon structures of twisted multilayer two-dimensional systems, with potential application to thermoelectric and thermal logical devices.
