Emergence of Interlayer Coherence in Twist-Controlled Graphene Double Layers (2206.11799v2)
Published 23 Jun 2022 in cond-mat.mes-hall and cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: We report enhanced interlayer tunneling with reduced linewidth at zero interlayer bias in a twist-controlled double monolayer graphene heterostructure in the quantum Hall regime, when the top ($\nu_{\mathrm{T}}$) and bottom ($\nu_{\mathrm{B}}$) layer filling factors are near $\nu_{\mathrm{T}}=\pm1/2, \pm3/2$ and $\nu_{\mathrm{B}}=\pm1/2, \pm3/2$, and the total filling factor $\nu = \pm1$ or $\pm3$. The zero-bias interlayer conductance peaks are stable against variations of layer filling factor, and signal the emergence of interlayer phase coherence. Our results highlight twist control as a key attribute in revealing interlayer coherence using tunneling.
