In moir\'e graphene systems, electronic interactions lift spin and valley degeneracies, leading to symmetry-broken ground states. In helical trilayer graphene (HTG), we uncover a distinct interaction-driven mechanism in which the roles of…

We report on a double moir\'e system consisting of four graphene layers, where the top and bottom pairs form small-twist-angle bilayer graphene, and the middle interface has a large rotational mismatch. This system shows clear signatures of…

Graphite, a model (semi)metal with trigonally warped bands, is investigated with magneto-absorption experiment and viewed as an electronic system in the vicinity of the Lifshitz transition. A characteristic pattern of up to twenty cyclotron…
