    Scattering in Bilayer Graphene Moiré Superlattices

## Description

- description: "Twist-controlled moiré superlattices (MS) have emerged as a versatile
    platform for realizing artificial systems with complex electronic spectra. The
    combination of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) and hexagonal boron nitride
    (hBN) can give rise to an interesting MS, that has recently featured a set of
    unexpected behaviors, such as unconventional ferroelectricity and the electronic
    ratchet effect. Yet, the understanding of the electronic properties of BLG/hBN
    MS has, at present, remained fairly limited. Here, we combine magneto-transport
    and low-energy sub-THz excitation to gain insights into the properties of this
    MS. We demonstrate that the alignment between BLG and hBN\r\ncrystal lattices
    results in the emergence of compensated semimetals at some integer fillings of
    the moiré  bands, separated by van Hove singularities where Lifshitz transition
    occurs. A particularly pronounced semimetal develops when eight holes reside in
    the moiré unit cell, where coexisting high-mobility electron and hole systems
    feature strong magnetoresistance reaching 2350% already at B = 0.25 T. Next, by
    measuring the THz-driven Nernst effect in remote bands, we observe valley splitting,
    indicating an orbital magnetization characterized by a strongly enhanced effective
    g<sub>v</sub>-factor of 340. Finally, using THz photoresistance measurements,
    we show that the high-temperature conductivity of the BLG/hBN MS is limited by
    electron-electron umklapp processes. Our multi-faceted analysis introduces THz-driven
    magnetotransport as a convenient tool to probe the band structure and interaction
    effects in van der Waals materials and provides a comprehensive understanding
    of the BLG/hBN MS."
