Engineering spin-orbit coupling in rhombohedral multilayer graphene - Part I

ORAL

Abstract

Multilayer graphene provides a natural platform for achieving flat bands and exploring strongly correlated physics, particularly in the rhombohedral-stacked configuration. Rhombohedral graphene exhibits a relatively flat energy dispersion, characterized by van Hove singularities in the density of states near charge neutrality. Recent studies have shown that proximitizing rhombohedral graphene with WSe₂ induces spin-orbit coupling, significantly altering its electronic properties, with enhanced superconductivity being a clear manifestation. In this work, using magneto-transport measurements, we investigate the fermiology and superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene with engineering of spin-orbit coupling.
