The Fascinating Fractal Butterfly Pattern in Twisted Graphene

Theoretical calculation of the energy levels of electrons in twisted layers of graphene in a magnetic field, showing the fractal “butterfly” pattern predicted by Douglas Hofstadter

Yazdani Lab, Princeton University

A mesmerizing fractal butterfly pattern, initially envisioned by computer scientist Douglas Hofstadter almost half a century ago, has finally been observed in intricate detail within a twisted segment of graphene.

Back in 1976, during his time as a physics student, Hofstadter theorized that specific two-dimensional crystals subjected to magnetic fields would exhibit a peculiar energy level arrangement, resulting in a peculiar pattern that showcases self-similarity at varying scales.

This groundbreaking discovery has significant implications for the field of quantum physics, shedding light on the intricate behaviors of electrons within graphene structures and opening up new avenues for research and exploration.
