We report on low-temperature transport study of a single layer graphene (SLG)-twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) junction device. The SLG-tBLG junction in the device is grown by chemical vapor deposition and the device is fabricated in a Hall-bar configuration on Si/SiO$_2$ substrate. The longitudinal resistances across the SLG-tBLG junction (cross-junction resistances) on the two sides of the Hall bar and the Hall resistances of SLG and tBLG in the device are measured. In the quantum Hall regime, the measurements show that the measured cross-junction resistances exhibit a series of new quantized plateaus and the appearance of these resistance plateaus can be attributed to the presence of the well-defined edge-channel transport along the SLG-tBLG junction interface. The measurements also show that the difference between the cross-junction resistances measured on the two sides of the Hall-bar provides a sensitive measure to the edge channel transport characteristics in the two graphene layers that constitute the SLG-tBLG junction and to degeneracy lifting of the Landau levels in the tBLG layer. Temperature dependent measurements of the cross-junction resistance in the quantum Hall regime are also carried out and the influence of the transverse transport of the bulk Landau levels on the edge channel transport along the SLG-tBLG junction interface are extracted. These results enrich the understanding of the charge transport across interfaces in graphene hybrid structures and open up new opportunities for probing exotic quantum phenomena in graphene devices.

We employ dual-gated 30{deg}-twisted bilayer graphene to demonstrate simultaneous ultra-high mobility and conductivity (up to 40 mS at room temperature), unattainable in a single-layer of graphene. We find quantitative agreement with a simple phenome
nology of parallel conduction between two pristine graphene sheets, with a gate-controlled carrier distribution. Based on the parallel transport mechanism, we then introduce a method for in situ measurements of the chemical potential of the two layers. This twist-enabled approach, neither requiring a dielectric spacer, nor separate contacting, has the potential to greatly simplify the measurement of thermodynamic quantities in graphene-based systems of high current interest.
When two planar atomic membranes are placed within the van der Waals distance, the charge and heat transport across the interface are coupled by the rules of momentum conservation and structural commensurability, leading to outstanding thermoelectric
properties. Here we show that an effective interlayer phonon drag determines the Seebeck coefficient (S) across the van der Waals gap formed in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG). The cross-plane thermovoltage, which is non-monotonic in both temperature and density, is generated through scattering of electrons by the out-of-plane layer breathing (ZO/ZA2) phonon modes and differs dramatically from the expected Landauer-Buttiker formalism in conventional tunnel junctions. The tunability of the cross-plane Seebeck effect in van der Waals junctions may be valuable in creating a new genre of versatile thermoelectric systems with layered solids.
We numerically investigate the electronic transport properties between two mesoscopic graphene disks with a twist by employing the density functional theory coupled with non-equilibrium Greens function technique. By attaching two graphene leads to up
per and lower graphene layers separately, we explore systematically the dependence of electronic transport on the twist angle, Fermi energy, system size, layer stacking order and twist axis. When choose different twist axes for either AA- or AB-stacked bilayer graphene, we find that the dependence of conductance on twist angle displays qualitatively distinction, i.e., the systems with top axis exhibit finite conductance oscillating as a function of the twist angle, while the ones with hollow axis exhibit nearly vanishing conductance for different twist angles or Fermi energies near the charge neutrality point. These findings suggest that the choice of twist axis can effectively tune the interlayer conductance, making it a crucial factor in designing of nanodevices with the twisted van der Waals multilayers.
We study conductance across a twisted bilayer graphene coupled to single-layer graphene leads in two setups: a flake of graphene on top of an infinite graphene ribbon and two overlapping semi-infinite graphene ribbons. We find conductance strongly de
pends on the angle between the two graphene layers and identify three qualitatively different regimes. For large angles ($theta gtrsim 10^{circ}$) there are strong commensurability effects for incommensurate angles the low energy conductance approaches that of two disconnected layers, while sharp conductance features correlate with commensurate angles with small unit cells. For intermediate angles ($3^{circ}lesssim theta lesssim 10^{circ}$), we find a one-to-one correspondence between certain conductance features and the twist-dependent Van Hove singularities arising at low energies, suggesting conductance measurements can be used to determine the twist angle. For small twist angles ($1^{circ}lesssimthetalesssim 3^{circ}$), commensurate effects seem to be washed out and the conductance becomes a smooth function of the angle. In this regime, conductance can be used to probe the narrow bands, with vanishing conductance regions corresponding to spectral gaps in the density of states, in agreement with recent experimental findings.
Control over minivalley polarization and interlayer coupling is demonstrated in double bilayer graphene twisted with an angle of 2.37$^circ$. This intermediate angle is small enough for the minibands to form and large enough such that the charge carr
ier gases in the layers can be tuned independently. Using a dual-gated geometry we identify and control all possible combinations of minivalley polarization via the population of the two bilayers. An applied displacement field opens a band gap in either of the two bilayers, allowing us to even obtain full minivalley polarization. In addition, the wavefunctions of the minivalleys are mixed by tuning through a Lifshitz transition, where the Fermi surface topology changes. The high degree of control makes twisted double bilayer graphene a promising platform for valleytronics devices such as valley valves, filters and logic gates.
