Competition of Density Waves and Superconductivity in Twisted Tungsten Diselenide

Abstract

Evidence for correlated insulating and superconducting phases around regions of high density of states was reported in the strongly spin-orbit coupled van-der Waals material twisted tungsten diselenide (tWSe${}_2$). We investigate their origin and interplay by using a functional renormalization group approach that allows to describe superconducting and spin/charge instabilities in an unbiased way. We map out the phase diagram as function of filling and perpendicular electric field, and find that the moiré Hubbard model for tWSe${}_2$ features mixed-parity superconducting order parameters with $s/f$-wave and topological $d/p$-wave symmetry next to (incommensurate) density wave states. Our work systematically characterizes competing interaction-driven phases in tWSe${}_2$ beyond mean-field approximations and provides guidance for experimental measurements by outlining the fingerprint of correlated states in interacting susceptibilities.
