Nematic superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene from atomistic modeling

T. Löthman, J. Schmidt, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Tomas Löthman, Johann Schmidt, Fariborz Parhizgar, and Annica M. Black-Schaffer uncovers a complex superconducting state in twisted bilayer graphene characterized by nematic ordering and a unique d-wave pairing symmetry. The findings challenge existing notions about superconductivity in TBG compared to high-temperature cuprates, revealing a rich landscape of local electronic interactions and energy gaps.
