Nature of superconductivity in highly-homogeneous twisted bilayer graphene

ORAL

Abstract

Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1 degree hosts superconducting, ferromagnetic and insulating states at partial band filling, all of which are associated with the formation of a nearly-flat electronic band. The experimental difficulty of this system is to fabricate highly angle-homogeneous samples, a necessary prerequisite for exploring the intrinsic properties. In this talk, I will report the results of transport measurements in several homogeneous twisted bilayer graphene at or near the flat band condition. We find that superconductivity near negative half-filling robustly appears regardless of the existence of a resistive state while the optimal critical temperature is very sensitive to the twist angle and is maximized around 1.1 degree.
