The emergence of Hofstadter butterflies for bosons in synthetic-gauge-field antiferromagnetic (AFM) patterns is theoretically studied. We report on a specific tight-binding model of artificial AFM structures incorporating both nearest and next-to-nearest neighbour tunnelings and allowing for the formation of the fractal spectra even with the vanishing gauge field flux through the lattice. The model is applied to square and honeycomb lattices. Possible experimental realization is suggested for the lattices of microring resonators connected by waveguides. Finally, the structure of the butterflies is analyzed for different points in the magnetic Brillouin zone for both the ferromagnetic and AFM patterns.

Applying long wavelength periodic potentials on quantum materials has recently been demonstrated to be a promising pathway for engineering novel quantum phases of matter. Here, we utilize twisted bilayer boron nitride (BN) as a moiré substrate for band structure engineering. Small-angle-twisted bilayer BN is endowed with periodically arranged up and down polar domains, which imprints a periodic electrostatic potential on a target two-dimensional (2D) material placed on top.

Gate voltages take full advantage of 2D systems, making it possible to explore novel states of matter by controlling their electron concentration or applying perpendicular electric fields. Here, we study the electronic properties of small-angle twisted bilayer MoS under a strong electric field. We show that transport across one of its constituent layers can be effectively regarded as a two-dimensional electron gas under a nanoscale potential.

Structural lattices with quasi-periodic patterns possess interesting dynamic features that can be exploited to control, localize and redirect propagating waves. In this work, we show that the properties of a large class of quasi-periodic locally resonant systems (approximated as periodic, with arbitrarily large period) can be performed by defining an equivalent discrete system. Several properties of wave propagation can be demonstrated with reference to this system.

In Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BBG), the Landau levels give rise to an intimate connection between valley and layer degrees of freedom. Adding a moiré superlattice potential enriches the BBG physics with the formation of topological minibands - potentially leading to tunable exotic quantum transport. Here, we present magnetotransport measurements of a high-quality bilayer graphene-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructure.

We theoretically study topological features, band structure, and localization properties of a dimerized two-leg ladder with an oscillating on-site potential. The periodicity of the on-site potential can take either rational or irrational values. We consider two types of dimerized configurations; symmetric and asymmetric models.
