Tuning monolayer superconductivity in twisted NbSe2 graphene heterostructures

Abstract

The recent advent of artificial structures has triggered the emergence of fascinating phenomena that could not exist in natural compounds. A prime example is twisted multilayers, i.e., moir\'e superlattices represented by magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). As in the case of MATBG, unconventional band hybridization can induce a new type of superconductivity: artificial band engineering by twist induces properties different from the original systems. Here, we apply this perspective to a monolayer superconductor NbSe2 stacked with a twist on doped graphene. We show that the superconducting states of the NbSe2 layer change dramatically by varying the twist angle. Our result shows that twist tuning, in addition to substrate effects, will provide a strategy for designing monolayer superconductors with high controllability.
