Theoretical calculation of the energy levels of electrons in the twisted layers of graphene in magnetic fields. Shows the “butterfly” pattern of fractals predicted by Douglas Hofstadter
Princeton University Yazdani Lab
The fractal butterfly patterns produced by the anomalous configuration of magnetic fields, first predicted almost 50 years ago, were first seen in detail with twisted graphene.
1976 Physics Student, Computer Scientist Douglas Hofstutter It was predicted that if certain two-dimensional crystals were placed in a magnetic field, the energy levels of those electrons should produce strange patterns that appear to be the same NO…
