چکیده

Twisting two layers into a magic angle (MA) of ~1.1{\deg} is found essential to create low energy flat bands and the resulting correlated insulating, superconducting, magnetic phases in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). While most previous works focus on revealing these emergent states MA-TBG, study twist dependence, which helps map an evolution phases, yet less explored. Here, we report magneto-transport one non-magic TBG device, whose {\theta} changes from 1.25{\deg} at end 1.43{\deg} other. For {\theta}=1.25{\deg}, observe emergence topological insulating hole side with sequence Chern number |C|=4-|v|, where v electrons (holes) moir\'e unite cell. When {\theta}>1.25{\deg}, insulator band disappears evolves fractal Hofstadter butterfly quantum Hall flux cell matters. Our observations will stimulate further theoretical experimental investigations relationship between electron interactions non-trivial topology.

Superlattice-Induced Insulating States and Valley-Protected Orbits in Twisted Bilayer Graphene.

Twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) is one of the simplest van der Waals heterostructures, yet it yields a complex electronic system with intricate interplay between moiré physics and interlayer hybridization effects. We report on electronic transport measurements of high mobility small angle TBLG devices showing clear evidence for insulating states at the superlattice band edges, with thermal acti...

Quantum Hall effect, screening, and layer-polarized insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene.

We investigate electronic transport in dual-gated twisted-bilayer graphene. Despite the subnanometer proximity between the layers, we identify independent contributions to the magnetoresistance from the graphene Landau level spectrum of each layer. We demonstrate that the filling factor of each layer can be independently controlled via the dual gates, which we use to induce Landau level crossin...

Transport spectroscopy of symmetry-broken insulating states in bilayer graphene.

Bilayer graphene is an attractive platform for studying new two-dimensional electron physics, because its flat energy bands are sensitive to out-of-plane electric fields and these bands magnify electron-electron interaction effects. Theory predicts a variety of interesting broken symmetry states when the electron density is at the carrier neutrality point, and some of these states are character...

Broken-Symmetry Quantum Hall States in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

Twisted bilayer graphene offers a unique bilayer two-dimensional-electron system where the layer separation is only in sub-nanometer scale. Unlike Bernal-stacked bilayer, the layer degree of freedom is disentangled from spin and valley, providing eight-fold degeneracy in the low energy states. We have investigated broken-symmetry quantum Hall (QH) states and their transitions due to the interpl...
