contents Double layer quantum systems are promising platforms for realizing novel quantum phases. Here, we report a study of quantum oscillations (QOs) in a weakly coupled double layer system, composed of a large angle twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG). We observe two different QOs at low temperature, one with a periodicity in carrier density (n), i.e. Shubnikov de Haas oscillation (SdHO) due to Landau quantization, and the other one in displacement field (D), resulting a grid pattern. We quantify the interlayer coupling strength by measuring the interlayer capacitance from the grid pattern with a capacitance model, revealing an electron hole asymmetry. At high temperature when SdHO are thermal smeared, we observe resistance peaks when LLs from two minivalleys in the moiré Brillion zone are aligned, regardless of carrier density; eventually, it results in a two fold increase of oscillating frequency in D, serving as a smoking gun evidence of the magneto intersubband oscillations (MISO) in a double layer system. The temperature dependence of MISO suggests electron-electron interaction between two minivalleys play a crucial rule in the scattering, and the scattering times obtained from MISO thermal damping are found to be correlated with the interlayer coupling strength. Our study reveals an intriguing interplay among Landau quantization, moiré band structure, and scatterings.
