摘要:

双层石墨烯中超导性的起源——是声子驱动还是电子驱动——仍然未解,部分原因是缺乏一个定量且高效的电子-声子耦合(EPC)模型。在本工作中,我们开发了一种基于第一性原理的微观理论,用于计算任意扭角下的双层石墨烯中电子-声子耦合。我们的方法结合了动量空间连续模型用于电子和声子结构,以及超越绝热近似的广义Eliashberg-McMillan理论。利用这一框架,我们发现电子-声子耦合在魔角附近显著增强。由低能声子诱导的超导转变温度在约1 K时在1.1°附近达到峰值,并且在魔角以下和以上的角度范围内保持有限。我们预测超导性可持续到约1.4°,其中超导性已近期被观测到,尽管电子能带呈弥散状。在声子态密度较大的情况下,我们识别出强电子-声子耦合的关键条件:电子带宽与主导声子频率之间的共振。我们还表明,特定声子的电子-声子耦合强度对应于摩尔势的修改。特别是,我们识别出几个Γ声子分支对电子-声子耦合贡献最大,这些可通过拉曼光谱实验检测。

英文摘要:

The origin of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene -- whether phonon-driven or electron-driven -- remains unresolved, in part due to the absence of a quantitative and efficient model for electron-phonon coupling (EPC). In this work, we develop a first-principles-based microscopic theory to calculate EPC in twisted bilayer graphene for arbitrary twist angles without requiring a periodic moiré supercell. Our approach combines a momentum-space continuum model for both electronic and phononic structures with a generalized Eliashberg-McMillan theory beyond the adiabatic approximation. Using this framework, we find that the EPC is strongly enhanced near the magic angle. The superconducting transition temperature induced by low-energy phonons peaks at $1.1^\circ$ around 1 K, and remains finite for a range of angles both below and above the magic angles. We predict that superconductivity persists up to $\sim 1.4^\circ$, where superconductivity has been recently observed despite the dispersive electronic bands. Beyond a large density of states, we identify a key condition for strong EPC: resonance between the electronic bandwidth and the dominant phonon frequencies. We also show that the EPC strength of a specific phonon corresponds to the modification of the moiré potential. In particular, we identify several $Γ$-phonon branches that contribute most significantly to the EPC, which are experimentally detectable via Raman spectroscopy.
