MireStudio is a universal Python-based computational package for twisted electronic structures that supports parallel large-scale computations, provides visualization capabilities, and offers interfaces with third-party software.

Abstract

Twistronics is an emerging and captivating field in condensed matter physics and material science. However, accurately and efficiently calculating the electronic structures of twisted systems remains a significant challenge. To address this, we have developed MoireStudio, a universal Python-based computational package for twisted electronic structures. Its functionalities include commensurate structure search, structure generation, parameterization, and construction for tight-binding models and continuum models, and the precise incorporation of full relaxation effects. The package is applicable to arbitrary combinations of two-dimensional materials, including rectangular lattices and heterostructures. User-friendly and easy to use, MoireStudio supports parallel large-scale computations, provides visualization capabilities, and offers interfaces with third-party software. It is poised to become a convenient and powerful tool for researchers in twistronics fields.
