Magnetotransport in small angle twisted bilayers of folded graphene — •Johannes Rode1, Hennrik Schmidt1,2, Dmitri Smirnov1, and Rolf J. Haug11Institut für Festkörperphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover — 2Centre for Advanced 2D Materials and Graphene Research Centre, National University of Singapore

Naturally occurring double-layer graphene consists of two hexagonal lattices in Bernal-stacking, described by a translational displacement between layers. While this type of bilayer is most commonly studied, the introduction of a rotational mismatch opens up a whole new field of rich physics, especially at small interlayer twist[1,2]. We investigate magnetotransport measurements on twisted graphene bilayers, prepared by folding of single layers. These reveal a strong dependence on the twist angle, which can be estimated by means of sample geometry. At small rotation, superlattices with a wavelength in the order of 10 nm arise and are observed by friction atomic force microscopy. Magnetotransport measurements in this small-angle regime show the formation of satellite Landau fans, which are attributed to additional Dirac singularities in the band structure[3].
