Thermoelectricity of superconducting twisted WSe2 bilayers

Oral-In-person

Abstract

Thermoelectric measurements are powerful tools to probe electronic entropy in correlated systems, which is otherwise difficult to access by conventional transport measurements. In this talk, I will present recent progress in thermoelectric measurements in twisted WSe2 bilayers – an emerging platform that simulates high-Tc superconductivity. Our measurements show signs of quantum criticality near correlated insulator state and abnormal Seebeck coefficient enhancement at metallic state at filling ν = 1. This will help to understand the nature of unconventional superconductivity in twisted WSe2 bilayers.
