Abstract

Twisted Van der Waals systems offer the unprecedented possibility to tune different states of correlated quantum matter with external noninvasive electrostatic doping. The nature of the superconducting order presents a recurring open question in this context. In this work, we assess quantitatively the case of spin-fluctuation-mediated pairing for Γ-valley twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers. We calculate self-consistently and dynamically the doping-dependent superconducting transition temperature Tc revealing a superconducting dome with a maximal Tc≈0.1–1K depending on twist angle. We compare our results with conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity, and we identify clear fingerprints in the doping dependence of Tc, which enable experiments to distinguish between different pairing mechanisms.
