Intrinsic quantized anomalous Hall effect in a moir\'e heterostructure
read the original abstract
We report the observation of a quantum anomalous Hall effect in twisted bilayer graphene showing Hall resistance quantized to within .1\% of the von Klitzing constant $h/e^2$ at zero magnetic field.The effect is driven by intrinsic strong correlations, which polarize the electron system into a single spin and valley resolved moir\'e miniband with Chern number $C=1$. In contrast to extrinsic, magnetically doped systems, the measured transport energy gap $\Delta/k_B\approx 27$~K is larger than the Curie temperature for magnetic ordering $T_C\approx 9$~K, and Hall quantization persists to temperatures of several Kelvin. Remarkably, we find that electrical currents as small as 1~nA can be used to controllably switch the magnetic order between states of opposite polarization, forming an electrically rewritable magnetic memory.

Superconductivity from Quasiparticle Pairing of Intervalley Coherent State in Rhombohedral Trilayer Graphene
Superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene is explained as quasiparticle pairing from the intervalley coherent state, producing Tc proportional to epsilon_D exp(-2 over rho_qp U) and coherence length xi appro...
