Abstract
- We introduce a general framework to study moir\'e structures of two-dimensional Van der Waals magnets using continuum field theory. The formalism eliminates quasiperiodicity and allows a full understanding of magnetic structures and their excitations. In particular, we analyze in detail twisted bilayers of N\'eel antiferromagnets on the honeycomb lattice. A rich phase diagram with non-collinear twisted phases is obtained, and spin waves are further calculated. Direct extensions to zig-zag antiferromagnets and ferromagnets are also presented. We anticipate the results and formalism presented to lead to a broad range of applications to both fundamental research and experiments.
