We present a systematic Raman study of twisted tetralayer graphene ( t (2 + 2)LG), under excitation of two laser lines. In t (2 + 2)LG samples, top Bernal stacked bilayer graphene (2LG stands for Bernal‐stacked bilayer graphene) twists different angle relative to bottom 2LG. It is found that 2D and 2D′ peaks of t (2 + 2)LG show positive wavenumber shift relative to those of 2LG. We propose a simplified electronic band structure for t (2 + 2)LG; interlayer interaction‐induced changing in electronic band structure can be used to understand the aforementioned spectral features. The electronic structures of t (2 + 2)LG samples are then probed from resonant Raman studies of 2D and 2D′ peaks using two laser lines; electronic dispersions in t (2 + 2)LG samples are given. Our study facilitates understanding of twist angle‐dependent electronic properties of tetralayer graphene superlattice. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
