Abstract

Quantum oscillations offer a direct probe of Fermi-surface topology and electronic degeneracy, yet disentangling both simultaneously across the Lifshitz transitions of multiband systems has remained an open experimental challenge. Here, we use Shubnikov-de Haas spectroscopy on a high-mobility, dual-gated Bernal-stacked tetralayer graphene (B-4LG) device to quantitatively reconstruct the complete sequence of six distinct Fermi-surface topologies-gully, annular, singly connected, and multiband pockets. The extracted oscillation frequencies determine the extremal momentum-space areas and their spin, valley, and gully-resolved degeneracies, in quantitative agreement with our tight-binding calculations. We further show that a perpendicular magnetic-field, combined with displacement-field lifts the valley degeneracy through an orbital-Zeeman coupling, producing a single-particle valley splitting of several meVmeV, far larger than in bilayer or trilayer graphene. Our work demonstrates a framework for tracking Fermi-surface topologies and their flavor degeneracies in multiband quantum materials.
