Recent experiments on twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) close to magic angle show that a small relative rotation in a van der Waals heterostructure greatly alters its electronic properties. We consider various scattering mechanisms and show that the carrier transport in tBG is dominated by a combination of charged impurities and acoustic gauge phonons. Charged impurities still dominate at low temperature and densities because of the inability of Dirac fermions to screen long-range Coulomb potentials at charge neutrality; however, the gauge phonons dominate for most of the experimental regime because although they couple to current, they do not induce charge and are therefore unscreened by the large density of states close to magic angle. We show that the resistivity has a strong monotonically decreasing carrier density dependence at low temperature due to charged impurity scattering, and weak density dependence at high temperature due to gauge phonons. Away from charge neutrality, the resistivity increases with temperature, while it does the opposite close to the Dirac point. A non-monotonic temperature dependence observed only at low temperature and carrier density is a signature of our theory that can be tested in experimentally available samples.

Using the semiclassical quantum Boltzmann theory and employing the Dirac model with twist angle-dependent Fermi velocity we obtain results for the electrical resistivity, the electronic thermal resistivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the Wiedemann-
Franz ratio in near magic angle twisted bilayer graphene, as functions of doping density (around the charge-neutrality-point) and modified Fermi velocity $tilde v$. The $tilde v$-dependence of the relevant scattering mechanisms, i.e. electron-hole Coulomb, long-ranged impurities, and acoustic gauge phonons, is considered in detail. We find a range of twist angles and temperatures, where the combined effect of momentum-non-conserving collisions (long-ranged impurities and phonons) is minimal, opening a window for the observation of strong hydrodynamic transport. Several experimental signatures are identified, such as a sharp dependence of the electric resistivity on doping density and a large enhancement of the Wiedemann-Franz ratio and the Seebeck coefficient.
Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1{deg} features a pair of isolated flat electronic bands and forms a strongly correlated electronic platform. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe local properties of highly tunab
le twisted bilayer graphene devices and show that the flat bands strongly deform when aligned with the Fermi level. At half filling of the bands, we observe the development of gaps originating from correlated insulating states. Near charge neutrality, we find a previously unidentified correlated regime featuring a substantially enhanced flat band splitting that we describe within a microscopic model predicting a strong tendency towards nematic ordering. Our results provide insights into symmetry breaking correlation effects and highlight the importance of electronic interactions for all filling factors in twisted bilayer graphene.
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) are lattice analogues of fractional quantum Hall states that may provide a new avenue toward manipulating non-abelian excitations. Early theoretical studies have predicted their existence in systems with energetical
ly flat Chern bands and highlighted the critical role of a particular quantum band geometry. Thus far, however, FCI states have only been observed in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (BLG/hBN), in which a very large magnetic field is responsible for the existence of the Chern bands, precluding the realization of FCIs at zero field and limiting its potential for applications. By contrast, magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) supports flat Chern bands at zero magnetic field, and therefore offers a promising route toward stabilizing zero-field FCIs. Here we report the observation of eight FCI states at low magnetic field in MATBG enabled by high-resolution local compressibility measurements. The first of these states emerge at 5 T, and their appearance is accompanied by the simultaneous disappearance of nearby topologically-trivial charge density wave states. Unlike the BLG/hBN platform, we demonstrate that the principal role of the weak magnetic field here is merely to redistribute the Berry curvature of the native Chern bands and thereby realize a quantum band geometry favorable for the emergence of FCIs. Our findings strongly suggest that FCIs may be realized at zero magnetic field and pave the way for the exploration and manipulation of anyonic excitations in moire systems with native flat Chern bands.
A purely electronic mechanism is proposed for the unconventional superconductivity recently observed in twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) close to the magic angle. Using the Migdal-Eliashberg framework on a one parameter effective lattice model for tBG
we show that a superconducting state can be achieved by means of collective electronic modes in tBG. We posit robust features of the theory, including an asymmetrical superconducting dome and the magnitude of the critical temperature that are in agreement with experiments.
In the past two years, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has emerged as a uniquely versatile experimental platform that combines metallic, superconducting, magnetic and insulating phases in a single crystal. In particular the ability to tune the s
uperconducting state with a gate voltage opened up intriguing prospects for novel device functionality. Here we present the first demonstration of a device based on the interplay between two distinct phases in adjustable regions of a single magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene crystal. We electrostatically define the superconducting and insulating regions of a Josephson junction and observe tunable DC and AC Josephson effects. We show that superconductivity is induced in different electronic bands and describe the junction behaviour in terms of these bands, taking in consideration interface effects as well. Shapiro steps, a hallmark of the AC Josephson effect and therefore the formation of a Josephson junction, are observed. This work is an initial step towards devices where separate gate-defined correlated states are connected in single-crystal nanostructures. We envision applications in superconducting electronics and quantum information technology as well as in studies exploring the nature of the superconducting state in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.
