▎ 摘  要

Recent studies have shown that moir?? flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can acquire nontrivial Berry curvatures when aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride substrate, which can be manifested as a correlated Chern insulator near the 3/4 filling. In this Letter, we show that the large Berry curvatures in the moir?? bands lead to a strong nonlinear Hall (NLH) effect in strained TBG with general filling factors. Under a weak uniaxial strain -0.1%, the Berry curvature dipole which characterizes the nonlinear Hall response can be as large as -200 ??, exceeding the values of previously known nonlinear Hall materials by two orders of magnitude. The dependence of the giant NLH effect as a function of electric gating, strain, and twist angle is further investigated systematically. Importantly, we point out that the giant NLH effect appears generically for a twist angle near the magic angle due to the strong susceptibility of nearly flat moir?? bands to symmetry breaking induced by strains, which can even induce a topological band inversion. Our results establish TBG as a promising platform for investigating nonlinear effects such as the NLH effect, the nonlinear Nernst effect, and the nonlinear thermal Hall effect due to its giant Berry curvature dipole.
