Band Structure and Superconductivity in Twisted Trilayer Graphene
arXiv:2106.15573 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.L121116
Abstract
We study the symmetries of twisted trilayer graphene's band structure under various extrinsic perturbations, and analyze the role of long-range electron-electron interactions near the first magic angle. The electronic structure is modified by these interactions in a similar way to twisted bilayer graphene. We analyze electron pairing due to long-wavelength charge fluctuations, which are coupled among themselves via the Coulomb interaction and additionally mediated by longitudinal acoustic phonons. We find superconducting phases with either spin singlet/valley triplet or spin triplet/valley singlet symmetry, with critical temperatures of up to a few Kelvin for realistic choices of parameters.
