    Abstract

    We study diffusive magnetotransport in highly p-doped large-area twisted bilayer graphene in 1∘, 7∘, 9∘, and 20∘ samples. All samples exhibit weak localization, from which we extract the phase coherence length and intervalley scattering lengths, and from that determine that dephasing is caused by electron-electron scattering and intervalley scattering is caused by point defects. We observe signatures of universal conductance fluctuations in the 9∘ sample, which has high mobility and is near the van Hove singularity. Further improvements in sample quality and applications to large-area moiré materials will open new avenues to observe quantum interference effects.
