ABSTRACT

This paper presents our findings on the recursive band gap engineering of chiral fermions in bilayer graphene doubly aligned with hBN. Using two interfering moiré potentials, we generate a supermoiré pattern that renormalizes the electronic bands of the pristine bilayer graphene, resulting in higher order fractal gaps even at very low energies. These Bragg gaps can be mapped using a unique linear combination of periodic areas within the system. To validate our findings, we use electronic transport measurements to identify the position of these gaps as a function of the carrier density. We establish their agreement with the predicted carrier densities and corresponding quantum numbers obtained using the continuum model. Our study provides strong evidence of the quantization of the momentum-space area of quasi-Brillouin zones in a minimally incommensurate lattice. It fills important gaps in the understanding of band structure engineering of Dirac fermions with a doubly periodic superlattice spinor potential.
