Isospin magnetism and spin-triplet superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene

arXiv:2110.11317 · doi:10.1126/science.abm8386

Abstract

We report the observation of spin-polarized superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene when doped to a saddle-point van Hove singularity generated by large applied perpendicular electric field. We observe a cascade of electrostatic gate-tuned transitions between electronic phases distinguished by their polarization within the isospin space defined by the combination of the spin and momentum-space valley degrees of freedom. While all of these phases are metallic at zero magnetic field, we observe a transition to a superconducting state at finite mT applied parallel to the two dimensional sheet. Superconductivity occurs near a symmetry breaking transition, and exists exclusively above the -limit expected of a paramagnetic superconductor with the observed mK, implying a spin-triplet order parameter.
