Junctions and superconducting symmetry in twisted bilayer graphene

arXiv:2211.11389 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.016003

Abstract

Junctions provide a wealth of information on the symmetry of the order parameter of superconductors. We analyze junctions between a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip and superconducting twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and TBG Josephson junctions (JJs). We compare superconducting phases that are even or odd under valley exchange (s- or f-wave). The critical current in mixed (s- and f-) JJs strongly depends on the angle between the junction and the lattice. In STM-TBG junctions, due to Andreev reflection, f-wave leads to a prominent peak in subgap conductance, as seen in experiments.
