Emergence of Interlayer Coherence in Twist-Controlled Graphene Double Layers

Abstract

We report enhanced interlayer tunneling with reduced linewidth at zero interlayer bias in a twist-controlled double monolayer graphene heterostructure in the quantum Hall regime, when the top ($ν_{\mathrm{T}}$) and bottom ($ν_{\mathrm{B}}$) layer filling factors are near $ν_{\mathrm{T}}=\pm1/2, \pm3/2$ and $ν_{\mathrm{B}}=\pm1/2, \pm3/2$, and the total filling factor $ν= \pm1$ or $\pm3$. The zero-bias interlayer conductance peaks are stable against variations of layer filling factor, and signal the emergence of interlayer phase coherence. Our results highlight twist control as a key attribute in revealing interlayer coherence using tunneling.
