We have theoretically investigated the properties of electronic transport in graphene heterostructures, which are consisted of two different graphene superlattices with one-dimensional periodic potentials. It is found that such heterostructures possess an unusual tunneling state occurring inside the original forbidden gaps, and the electronic conductance is greatly enhanced and Fano factor is strongly suppressed near the energy of the tunneling state. Finally we present the matching condition of the impedance of the pseudospin wave for occuring the tunneling state by using the Bloch-wave expansion method.

Graphene superlattices were shown to exhibit high-temperature quantum oscillations due to periodic emergence of delocalized Bloch states in high magnetic fields such that unit fractions of the flux quantum pierce a superlattice unit cell. Under these
conditions, semiclassical electron trajectories become straight again, similar to the case of zero magnetic field. Here we report magnetotransport measurements that reveal second, third and fourth order magnetic Bloch states at high electron densities and temperatures above 100 K. The recurrence of these states creates a fractal pattern intimately related to the origin of Hofstadter butterflies. The hierarchy of the fractal states is determined by the width of magnetic minibands, in qualitative agreement with our band structure calculations.
We report an efficient technique to induce gate-tunable two-dimensional superlattices in graphene by the combined action of a back gate and a few-layer graphene patterned bottom gate complementary to existing methods. The patterned gates in our appro
ach can be easily fabricated and implemented in van der Waals stacking procedures allowing flexible use of superlattices with arbitrary geometry. In transport measurements on a superlattice with lattice constant $a=40$ nm well pronounced satellite Dirac points and signatures of the Hofstadter butterfly including a non-monotonic quantum Hall response are observed. Furthermore, the experimental results are accurately reproduced in transport simulations and show good agreement with features in the calculated band structure. Overall, we present a comprehensive picture of graphene-based superlattices, featuring a broad range of miniband effects, both in experiment and in theoretical modeling. The presented technique is suitable for studying more advanced geometries which are not accessible by other methods.
Finite graphene nanoribbon (GNR) heterostructures host intriguing topological in-gap states (Rizzo, D. J. et al.~textit{Nature} textbf{2018}, textit{560}, 204]). These states may be localized either at the bulk edges, or at the ends of the structure.
Here we show that correlation effects (not included in previous density functional simulations) play a key role in these systems: they result in increased magnetic moments at the ribbon edges accompanied by a significant energy renormalization of the topological end states -- even in the presence of a metallic substrate. Our computed results are in excellent agreement with the experiments. Furthermore, we discover a striking, novel mechanism that causes an energy splitting of the non-zero-energy topological end states for a weakly screened system. We predict that similar effects should be observable in other GNR heterostructures as well.
We demonstrate gate-tunable resonant tunneling and negative differential resistance in the interlayer current-voltage characteristics of rotationally aligned double bilayer graphene heterostructures separated by hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) dielectr
ic. An analysis of the heterostructure band alignment using individual layer densities, along with experimentally determined layer chemical potentials indicates that the resonance occurs when the energy bands of the two bilayer graphene are aligned. We discuss the tunneling resistance dependence on the interlayer hBN thickness, as well as the resonance width dependence on mobility and rotational alignment.
The specific rotational alignment of two-dimensional lattices results in a moire superlattice with a larger period than the original lattices and allows one to engineer the electronic band structure of such materials. So far, transport signatures of
such superlattices have been reported for graphene/hBN and graphene/graphene systems. Here we report moire superlattices in fully hBN encapsulated graphene with both the top and the bottom hBN aligned to the graphene. In the graphene, two different moire superlattices form with the top and the bottom hBN, respectively. The overlay of the two superlattices can result in a third superlattice with a period larger than the maximum period (14 nm) in the graphene/hBN system, which we explain in a simple model. This new type of band structure engineering allows one to artificially create an even wider spectrum of electronic properties in two-dimensional materials.
