| الوصف: | Periodic systems feature the Hofstadter butterfly spectrum produced by Brown--Zak minibands of electrons formed when magnetic field flux through the lattice unit cell is commensurate with flux quantum and manifested by magneto-transport oscillations. Quantum oscillations, such as Shubnikov -- de Haas effect and Aharonov--Bohm effect, are also characteristic for electronic systems with closed orbits in real space and reciprocal space. Here we show the intricate relation between these two phenomena by tracing quantum magneto-oscillations to Lifshitz transitions in graphene superlattices, where they persist even at relatively low fields and very much above liquid-helium temperatures. The oscillations originate from Aharonov--Bohm interference on cyclotron trajectories that form a kagom\'e-shaped network characteristic for Lifshitz transitions. In contrast to Shubnikov - de Haas oscillations, the kagom\'e oscillations are robust against thermal smearing and they can be detected even when the Hofstadter butterfly spectrum is undermined by electron's scattering. We expect that kagom\'e quantum oscillations are generic to rotationally-symmetric two-dimensional crystals close to Lifshitz transitions. Comment: 7+7 pages |
