## Description

- description: Moiré superlattices formed by twisting trilayers of graphene are a
    useful model for studying correlated electron behavior and offer several advantages
    over their formative bilayer analogues, including a more diverse collection of
    correlated phases and more robust superconductivity. Spontaneous structural relaxation
    significantly alters the behavior of moiré superlattices, and has been suggested
    to play an important role in the relative stability of superconductivity in trilayers.
    Here, we use an interferometric four-dimensional scanning transmission electron
    microscopy approach to directly probe the local graphene layer alignment over
    a wide range of trilayer graphene structures. Our results inform a thorough understanding
    of how reconstruction modulates the local lattice symmetries crucial for establishing
    correlated phases in twisted graphene trilayers, evincing a relaxed structure
    that is markedly different from that proposed previously.
