Characterization of correlated insulating states and superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene: Part 1

ORAL

Abstract

Magic Angle Twisted Bilayer Graphene (MATBG) has emerged as an exciting platform to explore correlated insulating states and unconventional superconductivity due to its gate tunable nature. Even though several theoretical models have been proposed, the nature of the many body physics leading to these exotic states is not fully understood. Here we study correlated insulating and superconducting states for a range of angles around the magic angle value. Transport measurements as a function of carrier density, temperature and magnetic field reveal new insights in this correlated system.
