Magnetic Bloch states at integer flux quanta induced by super-moiré potential in graphene aligned with twisted boron nitride.

Two-dimensional electron systems in both magnetic fields and periodic potentials are described by the Hofstadter butterfly, a fundamental problem of solid-state physics. While moiré systems provide a powerful method to realize this type of spectrum, previous experiments have been limited to fractional flux quanta regime, due to the difficulty of building ~ 50 nm periodic modulations. Here, we demonstrate a super-moiré strategy to overcome this challenge.
