I agree with this assessment fully. The concern is well-founded because: (1) the training space (3×3 untwisted sliding, 126 atoms) is structurally distinct from large moiré supercells (up to 2380 atoms) with long-wavelength stacking modulations; (2) the single DFT validation at 28.07° is at a relatively large angle where bands are still dispersive, not in the small-angle regime where flat bands emerge; (3) the reported flat-band bandwidths (a few meV) are comparable to the maximum Hamiltonian-element MAE (3.89 meV for Ti–Ti), meaning even modest error growth at small angles could qualitatively change the conclusions. The reader also correctly flags the absence of structural relaxation (fixed 3.2 Å interlayer distance) and the lack of shipped code/model/dataset as additional concerns. These are real but secondary to the transferability issue. The verdict of CONDITIONAL with MODERATE confidence is appropriate. The paper demonstrates a genuinely useful application of DeepH-E3 to a challenging system, the validation at 28.07° is encouraging, and the optical-response calculations at larger angles (where the model is more trustworthy) are internally consistent. But the most novel predictions—flat bands at small angles—rest on unvalidated extrapolation. One additional point worth noting: the text mentions 'active learning' (§II) without specifying whether any twisted structures were incorporated into the training set through this process. If active learning did include twisted configurations, this would strengthen the transferability argument and should be stated explicitly. If it did not, the concern is sharper than the paper acknowledges.

To clarify: the active learning scheme operated entirely within the space of untwisted 3×3 sliding configurations. No twisted structures were included in the training set. The procedure involved iteratively predicting Hamiltonians for sliding configurations not yet in the training set, identifying those with the largest prediction uncertainty (estimated from model disagreement across training checkpoints), performing DFT calculations on those configurations, and adding them to the training set. This was repeated for several rounds until the validation error on held-out sliding configurations stabilized. The purpose was to ensure dense coverage of the local stacking environment space, since the physical rationale is that a twisted moiré supercell is locally approximated by a patchwork of sliding configurations. We agree that the extrapolation from untwisted sliding to commensurate twisted structures should be explicitly acknowledged as a limitation. We will revise §II to describe the active-learning protocol in detail and add a paragraph discussing the extrapolation risk, noting that the validation at θ=28.07° (Fig. 3f) and at additional angles in Fig. S2 provides the primary evidence that the transfer is reliable, but that the smallest-angle structures lack direct DFT confirmation.","revision_made":"yes","referee_comment":"§II, active learning: The text mentions an active learning scheme but gives no details on what it entailed—whether twisted structures were added to training, whether it operated only within sliding-configuration space, or what selection criterion was used.

Currently, Fig. S2 contains DFT vs. DeepH-E3 band-structure comparisons at θ=53.13° and θ=36.87°, in addition to the θ=28.07° comparison shown in the main text. None of these fall in the small-angle flat-band regime (θ≲15°). We will state this explicitly in the revised main text. Regarding the referee's suggestion of a small-angle DFT comparison: we have attempted DFT calculations for the (1,7) structure (θ=21.79°, 1140 atoms), which is the smallest-angle structure for which a full DFT calculation is still feasible on our computational resources. We will include this comparison in the revised Supplemental Material. For the smallest-angle structures such as (1,13) at 8.80° (2380 atoms), a full DFT band-structure calculation is not currently feasible—this is precisely the computational bottleneck that motivates the machine-learning approach. We acknowledge this gap honestly and will note it explicitly in the revised text. We note that the θ=28.07° validation already tests transferability to a structure with 408 atoms and a moiré period substantially larger than the 3×3 training cell, and the excellent agreement there (including fine moiré-induced band splittings) provides evidence that the local-stacking transferability assumption holds at least to this scale.","revision_made":"partial","referee_comment":"§III.B and Fig. S2: Direct DFT band-structure validation is provided in the main text only for θ=28.07°.

We agree that the alternative explanation—model error growing at small angles—should be explicitly discussed and not simply dismissed. We will add a discussion paragraph in §III.C addressing this. Specifically, we will note the following: (1) The Ti–Ti channel has the largest MAE (3.89 meV), and Ti-centered states dominate the valence-band edge, so this is the most relevant error channel for the bandwidth claims. (2) The reported VBM bandwidths at the smallest angles are on the order of a few meV, which is comparable to the Ti–Ti MAE, meaning that model error could in principle affect the quantitative bandwidth values at the smallest angles. (3) However, the qualitative trend—systematic bandwidth reduction with decreasing twist angle—is robust across the full series of commensurate angles and is consistent with the physical expectation that a longer moiré period produces stronger localization of band-edge states. (4) The non-monotonic variations are also present at intermediate angles (15°–20°) where bandwidths are still 10–30 meV, well above the model error scale, suggesting that commensurate-geometry effects are genuine and not artifacts. We will add a caveat that the quantitative bandwidth values at the smallest angles (e.g., (1,13) at 8.80°) carry uncertainty at the meV level due to the Ti–Ti channel error, and that the reported bandwidths should be understood as order-of-magnitude estimates in this regime rather than precise values.

The framework is externally developed and independently validated in prior work; the training data comes from DFT on untwisted sliding configurations. So the circularity burden is low — these are genuine predictions, not fits dressed up as discoveries. The validation at θ=28.07° is solid: 0.26 meV MAE, R²=0.999998, and the band-structure comparison in Fig. 3(f) is convincing. The systematic sweep over ten commensurate angles from 53.13° to 8.80°, combined with response-function calculations via HopTB, is a real computational achievement for a system where direct DFT on the largest cells (2380 atoms) is impractical. The finding that nonlinear optical responses are more twist-sensitive than linear dielectric or spin Hall responses is a useful physical result. The SHG enhancement and shift-current trends across angles are internally consistent and physically reasonable. The soft spot is real and the reader identified it correctly: the flat-band claims at the smallest angles (8.80°–15°) rest entirely on model extrapolation. The model is trained on 3×3 sliding supercells (126 atoms), and the only direct DFT band-structure validation is at 28.07° (408 atoms). The smallest-angle structures have no DFT cross-check. This matters because the reported flat-band bandwidths are only a few meV — comparable to the maximum Hamiltonian-element errors (3.89 meV for Ti–Ti, which is the channel most relevant to the band edge). If prediction errors grow at small angles, where local stacking environments differ most from the training set, the flat-band conclusion could be partly artifact. The paper mentions active learning but gives no details on what it entailed. Fig. S2 is cited for additional validations but the main text doesn't specify which angles. A single DFT band-structure comparison at one small angle (say 15° or below) would substantially strengthen the central claim. Structural relaxation is also absent — the fixed 3.2 Å interlayer distance may not hold across all angles. This is a secondary concern but worth noting. No trained model, dataset, or code is shipped, which limits reproducibility. These are addressable issues. The paper is a serious computational study that opens a new pathway for oxide moiré physics. It deserves a thorough referee who should push hard on the transferability question — specifically requesting at least one small-angle DFT validation and clarification of the active-learning procedure.","headline":"DeepH-E3 applied to twisted SrTiO3 bilayers: flat-band predictions at small angles lack DFT validation where it matters most","tokens_in":14913,"tokens_out":629,"would_cite":true,"duration_ms":104250,"reading_group":"maybe","serious_thinker":"yes","would_accept_peer_review":true},"rs_alignment":null,"lean_confirmation":null,"pith_extraction":{"msc":[],"pacs":[],"model":"glm-5.2","headline":"Twisting SrTiO₃ bilayers flattens bands and boosts nonlinear photocurrents","keywords":["twisted bilayer SrTiO3","moiré flat bands","deep-learning Hamiltonian","nonlinear optical response","shift current","second-harmonic generation","E(3)-equivariant neural network","twist engineering"],"falsifier":"Compute direct DFT band structures for at least one small-angle twisted bilayer (e.g., θ ≈ 12°–15°) and compare valence-band bandwidths and band-edge features with DeepH-E3 predictions.

The authors train an E(3)-equivariant neural network (DeepH-E3) on density-functional-theory Hamiltonians from untwisted sliding bilayer configurations (126 atoms each), then use the trained model to predict Hamiltonians for commensurate twisted bilayers with twist angles from 53.13° down to 8.80°, including a 2380-atom supercell that would be intractable for direct first-principles calculation.

From the predicted Hamiltonians, the authors compute band structures and four response functions across the twist-angle series. The flat-band mechanism in this oxide differs from graphene moiré systems: instead of interlayer hopping interference, the flattening arises from stacking-dependent electrostatic and orbital hybridization effects on Ti–O-derived band-edge states.
