The identification of correlated insulators and superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) has sparked significant interest in its electronic properties [1]. When examining the MATBG moiré patterns along the line with alternating regions of AA, AB, and BA, we observe striking similarities to those found in a 1D moiré of a sheared bilayer graphene, where one layer is laterally displaced. That may lead to a localization of the electronic states [2]. In this study, we investigate numerically the electronic and quantum transport properties in sheared bilayer graphene, focusing on how the degree of shear influences these characteristics.
