Description:

(abstract)

To realize the applicative potential of 2D materials twistronics, scalable synthesis and assembly techniques need to meet stringent requirements in terms of interface cleanness and twist-angle homogeneity. Here, we show that small-angle twisted bilayer graphene can be assembled from separated graphene single-crystals grown by chemical vapour deposition, ensuring electronic properties dominated by a device-scale-uniform moiré potential. Via low-temperature dual-gated magnetotransport we demonstrate the hallmarks of a 2.4°-twisted superlattice, including tunable regimes of interlayer coupling, reduced Fermi velocity, large interlayer capacitance, and density-independent Brown-Zak oscillations. The observation of these features in the electrical transport characteristics establishes CVD-based twisted bilayer graphene as an alternative to `tear-and-stack’ exfoliated flakes for fundamental studies, while serving as a proof-of-concept for future large-scale assembly.
