Topological Superconductivity in Twisted Multilayer Graphene

arXiv:1803.08057 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.087001

Abstract

We study a minimal Hubbard model for electronically driven superconductivity in a correlated flat mini-band resulting from the superlattice modulation of a twisted graphene multilayer. The valley degree of freedom drastically modifies the nature of thepreferred pairing states, favoring spin triplet order with a valley singlet structure. We identify two candidates in this class, which are both topological superconductors. These states support half-vortices carrying half the usual superconducting flux quantum , and have topologically protected gapless edge states.
