Abstract
We prove that the electronic density of states (DOS) for 2D incommensurate layered structures, where Bloch theory does not apply, is well-defined as the thermodynamic limit of finite clusters. In addition, we obtain an explicit representation formula for the DOS as an integral over local configurations. Next, based on this representation formula, we propose a novel algorithm for computing electronic structure properties in incommensurate heterostructures, which overcomes limitations of the common approach to artificially strain a large supercell and then apply Bloch theory.
