Fig. 1. Broken isospin symmetry phases in BBG.(A) Lattice structure of BBG.
(B) Band structure calculated within a tight-binding model ( 11 ) near the Brillouin
zone corner. a 0 = 2.46 Å is the graphene lattice constant. (C) Noninteracting
density of states,r, at 10 mK. Different curves are calculated for varying interlayer
potential differences, as marked. Au.c.≈5.24 Å^2 is the graphene unit cell area.
(D)ras a function of carrier density calculated ( 11 ) for fixed interlayer potential
difference of 50 mV and temperature of 10 mK. (Insets) Fermi contours at the
indicated values ofne, plotted on the intervalðÞ 0 : 06 ; 0 : 06 a 0 ^1 for bothkxandky.


(E) Experimentally determined inverse compressibility at zero magnetic field.
(F) Fast Fourier transform (FFT) ofRxxðÞ 1 =B⊥ measured at the (ne,D) points
indicated by the colored symbols in (E). Thexaxis is the frequency normalized to
ne. Peaks reflect fractional areas of the Fermi sea enclosed by a phase-coherent
orbit. For each trace, we show a schematic of the spin-dependent Fermi surfaces in
the two valleys inspired by a rigid-band Stoner model of the type considered in
( 12 ). Here, each quadrant depicts the Fermi surface for a particular spin and valley
isospin flavor. a.u., arbitrary units.

toV¼I^3 , from which we determineTBKT=26mK.(E)nedependence ofRxx
