Weak localization and universal conductance fluctuations in large area twisted bilayer graphene

arXiv:2511.07334 · doi:10.1103/xv5t-qvcm

Abstract

We study diffusive magnetotransport in highly p-doped large area twisted bilayer graphene in 1°, 7°, 9° and 20° samples. We report weak localization in twisted bilayer graphene for the first time. All samples exhibit weak localization, from which we extract the phase coherence length and intervalley scattering lengths, and from that determine that dephasing is caused by electron-electron scattering and intervalley scattering is caused by point defects. We observe signatures of universal conductance fluctuations in the 9° sample, which has high mobility and is near the van Hove singularity. Further improvements in sample quality and applications to large area moire materials will open new avenues to observe quantum interference effects.
