▎ 摘  要

Using ab initio methods based on density functional theory, we show that rotated graphene bilayers at angles different from the magic ones can have an electronic spectrum similar to those by applying moderate external pressures. We find that for an angle of 5.08 degrees and a pressure of 2.19 GPa, the spin-restricted spectrum displays a flat band at the Fermi level similar to the one found at magic angles. In addition, the spin-unrestricted calculations show a correlated ferromagnetic ground state with a total magnetic moment of 3.7 mu(B) per unit cell being mostly localized in the AA stacking region of the Moire pattern. The possibility of antiferromagnetic order is considered but not calculated. Doping the system with either electrons or holes destroys the magnetic moments.
