Abstract
A variety of exotic quantum phases of matter have been created by Van der Waals heterostructures. Moreover, these twisted heterostructures provide a feasible way of braiding correlation effect and nontrivial band topology together. Here, through a comprehensive spectrum study, we report the discovery of topological torus lattice in twisted mono-bilayer graphene. The strong Coulomb correlations give rise to an unusual charge localization behavior within the moiré supercell, leading to an electron crystal. The nontrivial band topology is encoded into the electron crystal, which would result in spatial modulated Chern numbers, and is evidenced by an emergent topological torus lattice state. Our result illustrates an efficient strategy for entwining and engineering topological physics with a strong electron correlation.
