针对最小公度结构的扭曲角，我们对强激光场作用下扭曲双层石墨烯（TBG）中的电子动力学进行了非微扰计算。我们发现，TBG具有丰富的高次谐波产生，不能发生在单层或传统的双层。我们通过分析动力学对称性、动量分辨动力学和层间耦合的作用来阐明这些非线性响应的机制。我们的研究结果意味着非线性“光扭转电子学”，或控制人工扭曲的层状材料的光学特性。
Focusing on the twist angle for the minimal commensurate structure, we perform nonperturbative calculations of electron dynamics in the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) under intense laser fields. We show that the TBG exhibits enriched high-harmonic generation that cannot occur in monolayer or conventional bilayers. We elucidate the mechanism of these nonlinear responses by analyzing dynamical symmetries, momentum-resolved dynamics, and roles of interlayer coupling. Our results imply nonlinear "optotwistronics," or controlling optical properties of layered materials by artificial twists.
