Description:

(abstract)

The specific rotational alignment of two-dimensional lattices results in a moir ́e superlattice with a larger period than the original lattices and allows one to engineer the electronic band struc- ture of such materials. So far, transport signatures of such superlattices have been reported for graphene/hBN and graphene/graphene systems. Here we report moir ́e superlattices in fully hBN encapsulated graphene with both the top and the bottom hBN aligned to the graphene. In the graphene two different moir ́e superlattices form with the top and the bottom hBN, respectively. The overlay of the two superlattices can result in a third superlattice with a period larger than the maximum period (14 nm) in the graphene/hBN system, which we explain in a simple model. This
new type of band structure engineering allows one electronic properties in two-dimensional materials.
