abstract

Starting from the strong-coupling limit of an extended Hubbard model, we develop a spin-fermion theory to study the insulating phase and pairing symmetry of the superconducting phase in twisted bilayer graphene. Assuming that the insulating phase is an anti-ferromagnetic insulator, we show that fluctuations of the anti-ferromagnetic order in the conducting phase can mediate superconducting pairing. Using a self-consistent mean-field analysis, we find that the pairing wave function has a chiral d-wave symmetry. Consistent with this observation, we show explicitly the existence of chiral Majorana edge modes by diagonalizing our proposed Hamiltonian on a finite-sized system. These results establish twisted bilayer graphene as a promising platform to realize topological superconductivity.
