Nodal Nematic Superconductivity in Multiple-Flat-Band Land

In this talk, I will discuss a mechanism of inducing stable nodal superconductivity for multiple flat-band systems. This mechanism is based on the degenerate flat band nature, so that not only intra-eigen-band pairing, but also inter-eigen-band pairing has a significant influence on the superconductivity properties. Based on the Bogoliubov de Gennes formalism of the heavy fermion model for the twisted bilayer graphene as an example, we show that although the nodal nematic d-wave pairing has higher energy around the nodal points compared to the chiral d-wave pairing in the momentum space, the inter-eigen-band pairing can lower the energy in other momenta away from the nodes, so that the nematic d-wave pairing is energetically favored for its overall condensation energy. This type of mechanism is particular to multiple-flat-band systems with no Fermi surfaces.
