Abstract

Here, the authors show that the interatomic coupling between two layers of a 2D crystal can be determined by studying the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of a trilayer structure with one aligned and one twisted interface, and obtain the inter-atomic coupling for carbon atoms in twisted trilayer graphene.
