In this work, we investigate the role of an external electric field in modulating the spectrum and electronic structure behavior of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its physical mechanisms. Through theoretical studies, it is found that the external electric field can drive the relative positions of the conduction band and valence band to some extent. The difference of electric field strength and direction can reduce the original conduction band, and through the Fermi energy level, the band is significantly influenced by the tunable electric field and also increases the density of states of the valence band passing through the Fermi level. Under these two effects, the valence and conduction bands can alternately fold, causing drastic changes in spectrum behavior. In turn, the plasmon spectrum of TBG varies from semiconductor to metal. The dielectric function of TBG can exhibit plasmon resonance in a certain range of infrared.

Recent experimental discoveries of superconductivity and other exotic electronic states in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) call for a reconsideration of our traditional theories of these states, usually based on the assumption of the presence of a Fermi surface. Here we show how such developments may even help us finding mechanisms of increasing the critical temperature of superconductivity towards the room temperature.
