Moiré miniband features in the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of graphene/hBN heterostructures

We identify features in the angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) arising from the periodic pattern characteristic for graphene heterostructure with hexagonal boron nitride (h BN). For this, we model ARPES spectra and intensity maps for five microscopic models used previously to describe moire superlattice in graphene/h BN systems. We show that detailed analysis of these features can be used to pin down the microscopic mechanism
of the interaction between graphene and h BN. We also analyze how the presence of a moire-periodic strain in graphene or scattering of photoemitted electrons off h BN can be distinguished from the miniband formation.
