Square lattice Hubbard model with tunable hopping ratio t^{'}/t is highly promising for realizing a variety of quantum phases, including higher-temperature superconductivity. We show that twisted square lattice homobilayers offer such tunability when the flat bands originate from the corner of the Brillouin zone. An emergent symmetry, generically present at low twist angles, enforces t=0 for these bands. Breaking it with interlayer displacement field or in-plane magnetic field introduces t and anisotropy, tunable in a wide range for correlated electrons on the moiré square lattice.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
