Electric field tunable superconductivity with competing orders in near magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Superconductivity (SC) in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) has been explored by varying carrier concentrations, twist angles, and screening strength, with the aim of uncovering its origin and possible connections to strong electronic correlations in narrow bands and various resulting broken symmetries. However, the link between the tBLG band structure and the onset of SC and other orders largely remains unclear. In this study, we address this crucial gap by examining in-situ band structure tuning of a near magic-angle (θ≈0.95^0) tBLG device with displacement field (D) and reveal remarkable competition between SC and other broken symmetries. At zero D, the device exhibits superconducting signatures without the resistance peak at half-filling, a characteristic signature with a strong electronic correlation. As D increases, the SC is suppressed, accompanied by the appearance of a resistance peak at half-filling. Hall density measurements reveal that at zero D, SC arises around the van Hove singularity (vHs) from an isospin or spin-valley unpolarized band. At higher D, the suppression of SC coincides with broken isospin symmetry near half-filling with lifted degeneracy (g_d ∼ 2). Additionally, when SC is suppressed at higher D, density waves around the superconducting dome are seen. These findings, with our theoretical calculations, highlight the competition between SC and other orders, and the stabilization of the latter by the electric field enhanced nesting in the band structure of tBLG.
