16. We tested all of our above conclusions for a "single-side gate" geometry, where a large charge density required to fill the first miniband (four electrons per moiré supercell) is induced by a single gate, which induces additional interlayer asymmetry (Refs. and), and found that its presence has almost no effect on the type of the miniband spectrum at the edge of the first miniband (gapped or overlapping minibands).
