Optoelectronic Fingerprints of Interference between Different Charge Carriers in Graphene Superlattices and Analogies to Twisted Graphene Bilayers
arXiv:2104.08658 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.115424
Abstract
Motivated by recent experimental findings on the low-energy spectrum of Kekulé-patterned graphene, the optoelectronic signatures of graphene superlattices with a spatial modulation that triples the size of the unit cell and folds the valleys to the center of the Brillouin zone are studied. For superlattices like those visualized in recent experiments, the optoelectronic response reveals multiple species of carriers distinguished by their effective masses or Fermi velocities. Their signatures are similar to those of systems hosting multifold fermions in which different frequency intervals are dominated by different types of quasiparticles. Remarkably, the response of these systems exhibits a characteristic peak in the optical conductivity suggesting a kind of interference between the different species of carriers. We also discuss a related superlattice that exhibits merging Dirac cones and band flattening, with a Hamiltonian that resembles a version of the chiral model for twisted bilayer graphene where the long-range moiré modulation has been substituted by a two-parameter bias.
