abstract

Quasi-periodic moir\'{e} patterns and their effect on electronic properties of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) have been intensely studied. At small twist angle $\theta$, due to atomic reconstruction, the moir\'e superlattice morphs into a network of narrow domain walls separating micron-scale AB and BA stacking regions. We use scanning probe photocurrent imaging to resolve nanoscale variations of the Seebeck coefficient occurring at these domain walls. The observed features become enhanced in a range of mid-infrared frequencies where the hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), which we use as a TBG substrate, is optically hyperbolic. Our results illustrate new capabilities of nano-photocurrent technique for probing nanoscale electronic inhomogeneities in two-dimensional materials.
