The superlattice of alternating graphene/h-BN few-layered heterostructures isfound to exhibit strong dependence on the parity of the number of layers withinthe stack. Odd-parity systems show a unique flamingo-like pattern, whereastheir even-parity counterparts exhibit regular hexagonal or rectangularsuperlattices. When the alternating stack consists of seven layers or more, theflamingo pattern becomes favorable, regardless of parity. Notably, theout-of-plane corrugation of the system strongly depends on the shape of thesuperstructure resulting in significant parity dependence of its mechanicalproperties. The predicted phenomenon originates in an intricate competitionbetween moir\'e patterns developing at the interface of consecutive layers.This mechanism is of general nature and is expected to occur in otheralternating stacks of closely matched rigid layered materials as demonstratedfor homogeneous alternating junctions of twisted graphene and h-BN. Ourfindings thus allow for the rational design of mechanomutable metamaterialsbased on Van der Waals heterostructures.
