Superconductivity from collective excitations in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene

Abstract

A purely electronic mechanism is proposed for the unconventional superconductivity recently observed in twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) close to the magic angle. Using the Migdal-Eliashberg framework on a one parameter effective lattice model for tBG we show that a superconducting state can be achieved by means of collective electronic modes in tBG. We posit robust features of the theory, including an asymmetrical superconducting dome and the magnitude of the critical temperature that are in agreement with experiments.
