Origin of Mott Insulating Behavior and Superconductivity in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

A remarkable recent experiment has observed Mott insulator and proximate superconductor phases in twisted bilayer graphene when electrons partly fill a nearly flat miniband that arises a “magic” twist angle. However, the nature of the Mott insulator, the origin of superconductivity, and an effective...
