| contents | Stacked graphene multilayers with a small relative twist angle between each of the layers have been found to host flat bands at a series of magic angles. We consider the effect that Dirac point asymmetry between the layers, and in particular different Fermi velocities in each layer, may have on this phenomenon. Such asymmetry may be introduced by unequal Fermi velocity renormalizations through Coulomb interactions with a dielectric substrate. It also arises in an approximate way in tetralayer systems, in which the outer twist angles are large enough that there is a dominant moire periodicity from the stacking of the inner two layers. We find in such models that the flat band phenomenon persists in spite of this asymmetry, and that the magic angles acquire a degree of tunability through either controlling the screening in the bilayer system or the twist angles of the outer layers in the tetralayer system. Notably, we find in our models that the quantitative values of the magic angles are increased. |
