Tunable multi-bands in twisted double bilayer graphene

Abstract The bandstructure of a material, playing an important role in its electron transport property, is usually governed by the lattice configuration. Materials with a field-effect tunable band, such as bilayer [1] and rhombohedral trilayer graphene [2, 3], are more flexible for electronic applications. Here, on dual-gated twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG) samples with small twist angle around 1 ∘ , we observe vertical electric-field-tunable bandstructures at multiple moiré fillings with bandgap values continuously varying from zero to tens of mili-electron volts. Moreover, within the first moiré filling on both electron and hole sides, the carrier transport deviates from Fermi liquid behavior, with measured resistivity exhibiting linear temperature dependence between 1.5 K and 50 K. Furthermore, under a vertical magnetic field, the coupling between the two bilayer graphene layers can also be turned on and off by a displacement field. Our results suggest TDBG with small twist angle is a platform for studying the evolution of multiple electric field tunable moiré bands and the resulting emergent correlated electronic phases.
