Scattering between minivalleys in a moiré material

arXiv:2106.07805 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.057702

Abstract

A unique feature of the complex band structures of moiré materials is the presence of minivalleys, their hybridization, and scattering between them. Here we investigate magneto-transport oscillations caused by scattering between minivalleys - a phenomenon analogous to magneto-intersubband oscillations - in a twisted double bilayer graphene sample with a twist angle of 1.94°. We study and discuss the potential scattering mechanisms and find an electron-phonon mechanism and valley conserving scattering to be likely. Finally, we discuss the relevance of our findings for different materials and twist angles.
