One-dimensional superlattices (1DSLs) in graphene have been predicted to exhibit intriguing effects such as transport anisotropy, additional Dirac points and hence higher degeneracy, leading to a different quantum Hall plateau sequence compared to pristine graphene. We use a patterned few-layer graphene gate under an encapsulated monolayer graphene to fabricate a 1DSL device. With the combined effect of a global gate and a patterned bottom gate, we are able to control the superlattice potential strength and carrier density independently. We show low-temperature transport measurements on a gate-tunable 1DSL in monolayer graphene with a period of 50 nm in directions parallel and perpendicular to the modulation using an L-shaped Hall bar. We observe anisotropic transport and the appearance of multiple Dirac points and additional Landau fans in the modulation direction. We also see Weiss oscillations, confirming the 1DSL modulation. However, the predicted anomalous quantum Hall sequence was not observed and we looked more closely at the 1DSL potential we were applying. We found an asymmetric potential shape, which strongly influences the change in the band structure and degeneracy.
