abstract

Recent experiments on magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene have discovered correlated insulating behavior and superconductivity at a fractional filling of an isolated narrow band. In this paper we show that magic-angle bilayer graphene exhibits another hallmark of strongly correlated systems --- a broad regime of $T-$linear resistivity above a small, density dependent, crossover temperature--- for a range of fillings near the correlated insulator. We also extract a transport "scattering rate", which satisfies a near Planckian form that is universally related to the ratio of $(k_BT/\hbar)$. Our results establish magic-angle bilayer graphene as a highly tunable platform to investigate strange metal behavior, which could shed light on this mysterious ubiquitous phase of correlated matter.

  1. Attractive electron-electron interactions from internal screening in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene

    cond-mat.str-el 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using RPA and cRPA, the authors find twist-angle-dependent screening in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, including real-space attractive regions in the RPA interaction and strongly reduced Hubbard parameters.

  2. Dissipation-enabled hydrodynamic conductivity in a tunable bandgap semiconductor

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In bilayer graphene, electron-hole collisions give a universal, temperature-independent conductivity at charge neutrality, and a tunable gap collapses the conductivity onto a single curve.

  3. Collective Excitations of Quantum Anomalous Hall Ferromagnets in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A microscopic calculation shows that the quantum anomalous Hall ferromagnet in twisted bilayer graphene is stable against spin and valley magnons, and that valley wave fluctuations limit the ordering temperature.

  4. On the Planckian bound for heat diffusion in insulators

    cond-mat.mtrl-sci 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The thermal transport lifetime in insulators is observed to scale with the ratio of a quantum melting velocity to the sound velocity, explaining the Planckian bound.

    Using a fitted universal constant from earlier work, the authors calculate twisted-bilayer-graphene transition temperatures of 1.94 K and 3.02 K and claim agreement with mean-field fits to published resistance data.

    cond-mat.str-el 2019-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review claiming that the dissipative 2D quantum XY model, with one coupling constant, quantitatively explains the strange metal properties and d-wave superconductivity of cuprates and similar quantum critical metals.
