Twistronics
Cao, Fatemi, Jarillo-Herrero and colleagues, Nature 556 (2018):
- 80–84 — correlated insulator at half-filling in magic-angle twisted bilayer (~1.1°).
- 43–50 — unconventional superconductivity; Tc up to 1.7 K in that report; dome-shaped phase diagram compared to cuprates in the paper’s language.
This is two sheets, a twist, a fridge. It is not PureGRAPH in a tote. Log the idea (twist as a knob) on theories.
