Fractional Chern mosaic in supermoiré graphene

We propose the realization of a fractional Chern mosaic: a state characterized by a spatially varying topological order. This arises in trilayer graphene with small sequential twist angles, where a large supermoiré lattice emerges alongside conventional moiré lattices. We show that electron correlations drive local fractionalization on the moiré scale, while its pattern varies across the supermoiré scale.

Abstract

We propose the realization of a fractional Chern mosaic: a state characterized by a spatially varying topological order. This arises in trilayer graphene with small sequential twist angles, where a large supermoiré lattice emerges alongside conventional moiré lattices. We show that electron correlations drive local fractionalization on the moiré scale, while its pattern varies across the supermoiré scale.
