Abstrakt: Traditional Joule dissipation omnipresent in today's electronic devices is well understood while the energy loss of the strongly interacting electron systems remains largely unexplored. Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) is a host to interaction-driven correlated insulating phases, when the relative rotation is close to the magic angle (1.08 ∘ ). We report on low-temperature (5K) nanomechanical energy dissipation of tBLG measured by pendulum atomic force microscopy (p-AFM). The ultrasensitive cantilever tip acting as an oscillating gate over the quantum device shows dissipation peaks attributed to different fractional fillings of the flat energy bands. Local detection allows to determine the twist angle and spatially resolved dissipation images showed the existence of hundred-nanometer domains of different doping. Application of magnetic fields provoked strong oscillations of the dissipation signal at 3/4 band filling, identified in analogy to Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, a wavefunction interference present between domains of different doping and a signature of orbital ferromagnetism.
