Interference effects in one-dimensional moiré crystals

Published 2021-08-01Version 1

Interference effects in finite sections of one-dimensional moir\'e crystals are investigated using a Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism within the tight-binding approximation. We explain interlayer transport in double-wall carbon nanotubes and design a predictive model. Wave function interference is visible at the mesoscale: in the strong coupling regime, as a periodic modulation of quantum conductance and emergent localized states; in the localized-insulating regime, as a suppression of interlayer transport, and oscillations of the density of states. These results could be exploited to design quantum electronic devices.
