Description:
(abstract)Due to Landau quantization, the conductance of two-dimensional electrons exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field exhibits oscillations that generate a fan of linear trajectories when plotted in the parameter space spanned by density and magnetic field. This fan looks identical irrespective of the electron dispersion details that determine the field dependence of the Landau level energy. This is no surprise, since the position of conductance minima solely depends on the level degeneracy which is linear in flux. The fractal energy spectrum that emerges within each Landau band when electrons are also exposed to a two-dimensional superlattice potential produces numerous additional oscillations, but they too create just linear fans for the same reason. Here, we report on conductance oscillations of graphene electrons exposed to a moiré potential that defy this general rule of flux linearity and attribute the anomalous behavior to the simultaneous occupation of multiple minibands and magnetic breakdown.
