RESUMO
Overlaying two graphene layers with a small twist angle θ can create a moiré superlattice to realize exotic phenomena that are entirely absent in a graphene monolayer. A representative example is the predicted formation of localized pseudo-Landau levels (PLLs) with kagome lattice in tiny-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) with θ<0.3° when the graphene layers are subjected to different electrostatic potentials. However, this was shown only for the model of rigidly rotated TBG, which is not realized in reality due to an interfacial structural reconstruction. It is believed that the interfacial structural reconstruction strongly inhibits the formation of the PLLs. Here, we systematically study electronic properties of the TBG with 0.075°≤θ<1.2° and demonstrate, unexpectedly, that the PLLs are quite robust for all the studied TBG. The structural reconstruction suppresses the formation of the emergent kagome lattice in the tiny-angle TBG. However, for the TBG around the magic angle, the sample-wide electronic kagome lattices with tunable lattice constants are directly imaged by using a scanning tunneling microscope. Our observations open a new direction to explore exotic correlated phases in moiré systems.
