A scalable tight-binding model is applied for large-scale quantum transport calculations in clean graphene subject to electrostatic superlattice potentials, including two types of graphene superlattices: moiré patterns due to the stacking of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) lattices, and gate-controllable superlattices using a spatially modulated gate capacitance. In the case of graphene/hBN moiré superlattices, consistency between our transport simulation and experiment is satisfactory at zero and low magnetic field, but breaks down at high magnetic field due to the adopted simple model Hamiltonian that does not comprise higher-order terms of effective vector potential and Dirac mass terms. In the case of gate-controllable superlattices, no higher-order terms are involved, and the simulations are expected to be numerically exact. Revisiting a recent experiment on graphene subject to a gated square superlattice with periodicity of 35 nm, our simulations show excellent agreement, revealing the emergence of multiple extra Dirac cones at stronger superlattice modulation.
