High-temperature surface superconductivity in rhombohedral graphite
arXiv:1210.7595 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.87.140503
Abstract
Surface superconductivity in rhombohedral graphite is a robust phenomenon which can exist even when higher order hoppings between the layers lift the topological protection of the surface flat band and introduce a quadratic dispersion of electrons with a heavy effective mass. We show that for weak pairing interaction, the flat band character of the surface superconductivity transforms into a BCS-like relation with high critical temperature characterized by a higher coupling constant due to a much larger density of states than in the bulk. Our results offer an explanation for the recent findings of graphite superconductivity with an unusually high transition temperature.
