Prominent Cooper Pairing Away From the Fermi Level and its Spectroscopic Signature in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

arXiv:1909.12532 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.012066

Abstract

We investigate phonon-mediated Cooper pairing in flat electronic band systems by solving the full-bandwidth multiband Eliashberg equations for superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene using a realistic tight-binding model. We find that Cooper pairing away from the Fermi level contributes decisively to superconductivity by enhancing the critical temperature and ensures a robust finite superfluid density. We show that this pairing yields particle-hole asymmetric superconducting domes in the temperature-gating phase diagram and gives rise to distinct spectroscopic signatures in the superconducting state. We predict several such features in tunneling and angle resolved photoemission spectra for future experiments.
