Abstract

In multilayer moir\'e heterostructures, the interference of multiple twist angles ubiquitously leads to tunable ultra-long-wavelength patterns known as supermoir\'e lattices. However, their impact on the system's many-body electronic phase diagram remains largely unexplored. We present local compressibility measurements revealing numerous incompressible states resulting from supermoir\'e-lattice-scale isospin symmetry breaking driven by strong interactions. By using the supermoir\'e lattice occupancy as a probe of isospin symmetry, we observe an unexpected doubling of the miniband filling near =-2, possibly indicating a hidden phase transition or normal-state pairing proximal to the superconducting phase. Our work establishes supermoir\'e lattices as a tunable parameter for designing novel quantum phases and an effective tool for unraveling correlated phenomena in moir\'e materials.
