▎ 摘  要

We address the effective fight-binding Hamiltonian that describes the insulating Mott state of twisted graphene bilayers at a magic angle. In that configuration, twisted bilayers form a honeycomb superlattice of localized states, characterized by the appearance of flat bands with fourfold degeneracy. After calculating the maximally localized superlattice Wannier wave functions, we derive the effective spin model that describes the Mott state. We suggest that the system is an exotic ferromagnetic Mott insulator, with well-defined experimental signatures.
