a Magnitude of out-of-plane corrugation ∆Z (denoted in Fig. 10) of metal atoms in each constituting layer, (b) the proportion of different domain and node areas relative to the total area, (c) binding energy and strain energy as a function of twist angle θ. Yellow/purple regions show different types of corrugation, where the out-of-plane displacements of each layer are oriented towards the same (in-phase, yellow) or opposite (out-of-phase, purple) directions in all local stackings, corresponding to the Supplementary Fig. 13. The critical angles are ~5° and 55°, respectively.
