摘要
We model the newly synthesized magic-angle-twisted bilayer graphene superconductor with two p(x,y)(-) like Wannier orbitals on the superstructure honeycomb lattice, where the hopping integrals are constructed via the Slater-Koster formulism by symmetry analysis. The characteristics exhibited in this simple model are well consistent with both the rigorous calculations and experiment observations. A van Hove singularity and Fermi-surface (FS) nesting are found in the doping levels relevant to the correlated insulator and unconventional superconductivity revealed experimentally, based on which we identify the two phases as weak-coupling FS instabilities. Then, with repulsive Hubbard interactions turned on, we performed random-phase-approximation based calculations to identify the electron instabilities. As a result, we find chiral d + id topological superconductivity bordering the correlated insulating state near half-filling, identified as noncoplanar chiral spin-density wave ordered state, featuring the quantum anomalous Hall effect. The phase diagram obtained in our approach is qualitatively consistent with experiments.
