| contents | In this article we study the Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) model with external magnetic field. We study the spectral properties of the Hamiltonian in an external magnetic field with a particular emphasis on the flat band of the chiral model at magic angles. Our analysis includes different types of interlayer tunneling potentials, the so-called chiral and anti-chiral limits. One novelty of our article is that we show that using a magnetic field one can discriminate between flat bands of different multiplicities, as they lead to different Chern numbers in the presence of magnetic fields, while for zero magnetic field their Chern numbers always coincide. |
