Abstract

Moiré superlattices have recently emerged as a platform upon which correlated physics and superconductivity can be studied with unprecedented tunability. Although correlated effects have been observed in several other moiré systems, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene remains the only one in which robust superconductivity has been reproducibly measured. Here we realize a moiré superconductor in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG), which has better tunability of its electronic structure and superconducting properties than magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. Measurements of the Hall effect and quantum oscillations as a function of density and electric field enable us to determine the tunable phase boundaries of the system in the normal metallic state. Zero-magnetic-field resistivity measurements reveal that the existence of superconductivity is intimately connected to the broken-symmetry phase that emerges from two carriers per moiré unit cell. We find that the superconducting phase is suppressed and bounded at the Van Hove singularities that partially surround the broken-symmetry phase, which is difficult to reconcile with weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. Moreover, the extensive in situ tunability of our system allows us to reach the ultrastrong-coupling regime, characterized by a Ginzburg-Landau coherence length that reaches the average inter-particle distance, and very large T/T values, in excess of 0.1 (where T and T are the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and Fermi temperatures, respectively). These observations suggest that MATTG can be electrically tuned close to the crossover to a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. Our results establish a family of tunable moiré superconductors that have the potential to revolutionize our fundamental understanding of and the applications for strongly coupled superconductivity.

摘要

Moiré 超晶格最近成为了一个平台,通过这个平台可以以前所未有的可调谐性研究相关物理和超导性。尽管在其他几个 Moiré 系统中已经观察到了相关效应,但魔角扭曲双层石墨烯仍然是唯一可重复测量到稳健超导性的系统。在这里,我们在魔角扭曲三层石墨烯(MATTG)中实现了一个 Moiré 超导体,其电子结构和超导性质的可调谐性优于魔角扭曲双层石墨烯。对 Hall 效应和量子振荡随密度和电场的函数的测量使我们能够确定系统在正常金属态下的可调谐相界。零磁场电阻率测量表明,超导性的存在与每摩尔单元中两个载流子出现的对称破缺相密切相关。我们发现超导相在部分环绕对称破缺相的范霍夫奇点处被抑制和限制,这与弱耦合 Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer 理论很难协调。此外,我们系统的广泛原位可调谐性使我们能够达到超强耦合态,其特征是吉布斯-朗道相干长度达到平均粒子间距离,并且 T/T 值非常大,超过 0.1(其中 T 和 T 分别是 Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless 转变和费米温度)。这些观察结果表明,MATTG 可以通过电调谐接近到二维玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体的转变点。我们的结果确立了一系列可调谐的 Moiré 超导体,这些超导体有可能彻底改变我们对强耦合超导性的基本理解和应用。
