摘要/Abstract

摘要： Twisted bilayer graphene heterostructures have recently emerged as a well-established platform for studying strongly correlated phases, such as correlated insulating, superconducting, and topological states. Extending this notion to twisted multilayer graphene heterostructures has exhibited more diverse correlated phases, as some fundamental properties related to symmetry and band structures are correspondingly modified. Here, we report the observations of correlated states in twisted monolayer-trilayer (Bernal stacked) graphene heterostructures. Correlated phases at integer fillings of the moiré unit cell are revealed at a high displacement field and stabilized with a moderate magnetic field on the electron-doping side at a twist angle of 1.45°, where the lift of degeneracy at the integer fillings is observed in the Landau fan diagram. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of moiré engineering in an extended structure and provide insights into electric-field tunable correlated phases.
