Extended Data Fig. 6

a, Averaged reduced-height (dI/dV)/I0 spectra at MM, MX, and XM (3x3 pixels, 0.71 nm2). Insets show a sketch of the measurement technique and a representative STM topograph of the region, with εuni = 0.74%, and εbi = 0.00%, oriented at 2∘ with respect to the moiré. The tunneling parameters are (It, Vbias) = (50 pA, -2.0 V). b-g, dI/dV maps acquired at different values of Vbias, as specified in each panel, with the same color scale across all maps. All maps are assembled from a grid spectroscopy measurement with initial tunneling setpoint (It, Vbias) = (10 pA, -1.2 V). The tip was moved towards the sample by Δz = 0.36 nm before the bias sweep. The scale bars are all 3 nm. See Supplementary Video 3 for animation of the full evolution with Vbias.
