Heteromoiré Engineering on Magnetic Bloch Transport in Twisted Graphene Superlattices

Localized electrons subject to applied magnetic fields can restart to propagate freely through the lattice in delocalized magnetic Bloch states (MBSs) when the lattice periodicity is commensurate with the magnetic length. Twisted graphene superlattices with moiré wavelength tunability enable experimental access to the unique delocalization in a controllable fashion. Here we report the observation and characterization of high-temperature Brown-Zak (BZ) oscillations which come in two types, 1/B and B periodicity, originating from the generation of integer and fractional MBSs, in the twisted bilayer and trilayer graphene superlattices, respectively. Coexisting periodic-in-1/B oscillations assigned to different moiré wavelengths, are dramatically observed in small-angle twisted bilayer graphene, which may arise from angle-disorder-induced in-plane heteromoiré superlattices. Moreover, the vertical stacking of heteromoiré supercells in double-twisted trilayer graphene results in a mega-sized superlattice. The exotic superlattice contributes to the periodic-in-B oscillation and dominates the magnetic Bloch transport.
