Momentum and spatially resolved view of multiple twisted bilayer graphene domains revealed through nano-focused angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy

ORAL

Abstract

The ability to tune the twist angle between constituent layers in two-dimensional material-based heterostructures offers a novel avenue for quantum material engineering and exploring fundamental physics.  The resultant superlattices are known to induce moiré electronic bands, open gaps and produce flat bands whose location in energy depends on the twist angle.  We will present our photoemission spectroscopy measurements of twisted bilayer graphene heterostructures with several twist angles using both micro- and nano-focused beam spots.  The detailed four-dimensional (E,k,x,y) maps of the heterostructures are generated to unveil the complex spatially dependent electronic structure, which varies on the length scale of hundreds of nanometers.  This work sheds light on the fundamental understanding of the complex interactions in twisted bilayer graphene as we pave the way for accessing the correlated phenomena at a large range of twist angles.
