Such materials are a fertile ground for novel states largely driven by electronic correlations. Here we find that the ubiquitous Casimir force can serve as a platform for macroscopic manifestations of the quantum effects stemming from the magic angle bilayered graphenes properties and their phases determined by electronic correlations. By utilizing comprehensive calculations for the electronic and optical response, we find that Casimir torque can probe anisotropy from the Drude conductivities in nematic states, while repulsion in the Casimir force can help identify topologically nontrivial phases in magic angle twisted bilayered graphenes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-05T16:44:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magic angle", "casimir interactions", "correlation-driven effects", "angle bilayered graphenes properties", "angle twisted bilayered graphenes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
