Abstract:

Graphene moiré systems are ideal environments for investigating complex phase diagrams and gaining fundamental insights into the mechanisms that underlie them, as they permit controlled manipulation of electronic properties. Magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene has emerged as a key platform for exploring moiré superconductivity due to the robustness of its superconducting order and the ability to tune its energy bands with an electric field. Here we report the direct observation of two domes of superconductivity in the phase diagram of magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene. The dependence of the superconductivity of doped holes on the temperature, magnetic field and bias current shows that it is suppressed near a specific filling of the moiré flat band, leading to a double dome in the phase diagram within a finite range of the displacement field. The transport properties are also indicative of a phase transition and the potentially distinct nature of superconductivity in the two domes. Hartree–Fock calculations incorporating mild strain yield an incommensurate Kekulé spiral state whose effective spin polarization peaks in the regime where superconductivity is suppressed in the experiments.
