Theoretical study reveals flat bands in translated and twisted bilayer Penrose quasicrystals, highlighting novel electronic states in non-periodic moire materials.
Correlated phases in Moiré materials together with the flat-bands in twisted systems play a central role to explain superconductivity in the new twisted bilayer graphene. In this paper, flat-bands are shown to exist in both translated and twisted bilayer of quasicrystals. Such flat-bands arise for different displacements and twisting angles of two-coupled Penrose lattices where Moiré patterns are also shown. Moiré patterns analyzed in this work have at least two inverted worms showing an interference pattern going along the five-fold axes of the pentagon. In order to analyze the behavior of the flat band, our study has been done for fixed interference worm directions but increasing the worm interference density, and for fixed worm interference density but increasing the number of worm directions. In case of rotations, the Moiré patterns that occurs for special angles such as
