Abstract We study the possibility of charge order at quarter filling and antiferromagnetism at halffilling in a tight-binding model of magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. We build on the model proposed by Kang and Vafek [1], relevant to a twist angle of 1.30◦, and add on-site and extended density-density interactions. Applying the variational cluster approximation with an exact-diagonalization impurity solver, we find that the system is indeed a correlated (Mott) insulator at fillings 4 , 1 2…

It is shown experimentally that when this angle is close to the ‘magic’ angle the electronic band structure near zero Fermi energy becomes flat, owing to strong interlayer coupling, and these flat bands exhibit insulating states at half-filling, which are not expected in the absence of correlations between electrons.
