  • Possible nodeless s±-wave superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene

    • The recent discovery of superconductivity in the twisted bilayer graphene has stimulated numerous theoretical proposals concerning its exact gap symmetry. Among them, the d+ id or p+ ip-wave was believed to be the most plausible solution. Here, considering that the superconductivity emerges near a correlated insulating state and may be induced by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, we apply the strong-coupling Eliashberg theory with both inter- and intraband quantum critical pairing interactions and discuss the possible gap symmetry in an effective low-energy four-orbital model. Our calculations reveal a nodeless s±-wave as the most probable candidate for the superconducting gap symmetry in the experimentally relevant parameter range. This solution is distinctly different from previous theoretical proposals. It highlights the multi-gap nature of the superconductivity and puts the twisted bilayer graphene in the same class as the iron-pnictide, electron-doped cuprate, and some heavy fermion superconductors.
