Superconductivity in Twisted Trilayer Graphene Supermoiré
ORAL
Abstract
The supermoiré lattice, arising from the interference of multiple moiré patterns, dynamically reshapes the electronic band structure by introducing new mini-bands and modifying band dispersion. Concurrently, strong electronic interactions within moiré flat bands lead to the emergence of various correlated states. However, the impact of the supermoiré lattice on the flat band systems with strong interactions remains largely unexplored. Here, we report the existence of the supermoiré lattice in the mirror-symmetry-broken twisted trilayer graphene, elucidating its role in generating mini flat bands and mini Dirac bands. We demonstrate interaction-induced symmetry-broken phases in the supermoiré mini flat bands alongside the cascade of multiple superconductor-insulator transitions enabled by the supermoiré lattice. Our work underscores the significance of the supermoiré lattice as an additional degree of freedom for tuning the electronic properties of twisted multilayer systems.
