After the first demonstration of superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG), 2D moiré superlattices proved to be valuable systems for band engineering and studying correlated quantum phases. An imposed periodic potential can drive a crystal into a flat-band phase facilitating strong electron-electron interactions. In MATBG, flat bands appear only at a few precise values of the twist angle. In contrast, small-angle twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG) can be tuned in and out of the correlated regime using electrostatic fields in a continuous range of twist angles. Local probe studies are key to avoid the common complication of angle disorder. Here we employ scanning tunneling microscopy and electrostatic gating to study TDBG with atomic spatial and high energy resolution in magnetic fields up to 15 T. We observe Landau quantization and map out the TDBG band structure in response to the applied electric field. We use theoretical modeling of the effects of displacement fields, Berry curvature, and magnetic fields to support our experimental findings.
