Transport Properties of Dual-Gated Bilayer Graphene/Hexagonal Boron Nitride Moir\'e Superlattices

ORAL

Abstract

Moir\'e superlattices of monolayer and bilayer graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) show Hofstadter's butterfly physics under an applied magnetic field [1-3]. However, such bilayer graphene systems on boron nitride with both back and top gates have not been studied yet, where the properties of the fractal Hofstadter spectrum are potentially tunable by varying the perpendicular electric field applied to the bilayer system. Using layer stacking and edge contacts [4] we fabricate such devices. We will report our latest data from these encapsulated hBN/aligned bilayer-graphene/hBN devices. \\[4pt] [1] P. A.
