| contents | We investigate the electronic structure of graphene monolayers subjected to patterned dielectric superlattices. Through a quantum capacitance model approach, we simulate realistic devices capable of imposing periodic potentials on graphene. By means of both tight-binding and continuum models, we analyze the electronic structure across varied patterning geometries, including triangular, kagome, and square configurations. We explicitly explore the influence of device parameters such as the superlattice potential strength, geometry, and periodicity on the electronic properties of graphene. By introducing a long-range Coulomb interaction, we found an emergent periodic potential strong enough to open a mass gap, thereby generating a Chern band. Our study highlights the robustness and versatility of patterned dielectric superlattices for band engineering in graphene systems. |
