Here we report combined temperature-dependent transport measurements of the longitudinal and Hall resistivities in close to magic-angle TBG. While the observed longitudinal resistivity follows linear temperature $T$ dependence consistent with previous reports, the Hall resistance shows an anomalous $T$ dependence with the cotangent of the Hall angle cot $\\Theta{_H} \\propto T^2$. Boltzmann theory for quasiparticle transport predicts that both the resistivity and cot $\\Theta{_H}$ should have the same $T$ dependence, contradicting the observed behavior. This failure of quasiparticle-based theories is reminiscent of other correlated strange metals such as cuprates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-16T13:16:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "twisted bilayer graphene", "strange metal behavior", "quasiparticle transport predicts", "hall angle cot", "dependence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
