Abstract

Trilayer graphene offers systematic control of its electronic structure through stacking sequence and twist geometry, providing a versatile platform for correlated states. Here we report magnetotransport in large-angle twisted trilayer graphene with a twist angle of about 5°. The data reveal an electron–hole asymmetry that can be captured by introducing layer-dependent potential shifts. At charge neutrality (νtot = 0), three low-resistance states appear, which Hartree–Fock mean-field analysis attributes to spin-resolved helical edge modes in the quantum Hall regime, analogous to quantum spin Hall–like configurations. At νtot = −1, we also observe suppressed resistance when the middle and bottom layers are each half filled while the top layer remains inert at ν = −2, consistent with an interlayer excitonic phase in the quantum Hall regime. These results demonstrate correlated interlayer quantum Hall phases in large-angle twisted trilayer graphene, combining spin-resolved helical edge transport with excitonic order.
