Identifying the essential components of superconductivity in graphene-based systems remains a critical problem in two-dimensional materials research. This field is connected to the mysteries that underpin investigations of unconventional superconductivity in condensed-matter physics. Superconductivity has been observed in magic-angle twisted stacks of monolayer graphene but conspicuously not in twisted stacks of bilayer graphene, although both systems host topological flat bands and symmetry-broken states. Here we report the discovery of superconductivity in twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG) in proximity to WSe. Samples with twist angles 1.24° and 1.37° superconduct in small pockets of the gate-tuned phase diagram within the valence and conduction band, respectively. Superconductivity emerges from unpolarized phases near van Hove singularities and next to regions with broken isospin symmetry. Our results show the correlation between a high density of states and the emergence of superconductivity in TDBG while revealing a possible role for isospin fluctuations in the pairing.
确定基于石墨烯的系统中超导性的基本成分仍然是二维材料研究中的一个关键问题。该领域与凝聚态物理中非常规超导性研究背后的奥秘相关。在单层石墨烯的魔角扭曲堆叠中已观察到超导性,但在双层石墨烯的扭曲堆叠中却明显未观察到,尽管这两种系统都存在拓扑平带和对称性破缺态。在此,我们报告了在靠近WSe₂的扭曲双双层石墨烯(TDBG)中发现超导性。具有1.24°和1.37°扭曲角的样品分别在价带和导带内的栅极调谐相图的小区域中表现出超导性。超导性出现在范霍夫奇点附近的非极化相以及同位旋对称性破缺的区域附近。我们的结果显示了TDBG中态密度高与超导性出现之间的相关性,同时揭示了同位旋涨落在配对中可能发挥的作用。
