Quantum Lifetime Spectroscopy and Magnetotunneling in Double Bilayer Graphene Heterostructures

We describe a tunneling spectroscopy technique in a double bilayer graphene heterostructure where momentum-conserving tunneling between different energy bands serves as an energy filter for the tunneling carriers, and allows a measurement of the quasiparticle state broadening at well-defined energies. The broadening increases linearly with the excited state energy with respect to the Fermi level and is weakly dependent on temperature. In-plane magnetotunneling reveals a high degree of rotational alignment between the graphene bilayers, and an absence of momentum randomizing processes.
