Abstract Recent experiments in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene have revealed a wealth of novel electronic phases as result interaction-driven spin-valley flavour polarisation. In this work, we investigate correlated due to the combined effect spin-orbit coupling-enhanced valley polarisation and large density states below half filling moiré band coupled tungsten diselenide.

While most recent experiments primarily focus on electronic-band hybridization by probing in-plane transport properties, here we report out-of-plane thermoelectric measurements across gap in twisted bilayer graphene, which exhibits an interplay twist-dependent interlayer electronic...
