Magneto-transport Signature of Moiré of Moiré Superlattice in Consecutively Twisted Trilayer Graphene

ORAL

Abstract

Correlated insulating states and the transport signature of superconductivity have been reported in twisted trilayer graphene moiré of moiré superlattices [1] and moiré quasicrystals [2]. Towards a further understanding of their underlying mechanism, we study the low-temperature magneto-transport in a dual-gated twisted trilayer graphene device and its dependence on an out-of-plane electric field. We comprehensively examine the role of each monolayer graphene layer in determining the electronic structure of the system. We characterize low-temperature magneto-transport signatures arising from the competing length scales, and how they lead to new transport features of resulting higher order moiré of moiré superlattice.
