摘要
We theoretically explore possible orders induced by weak repulsive interactions in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g., WSe2) in the presence of an out-of-plane electric field. Using renormalization group analysis, we show that superconductivity survives even with the conventional van Hove singularities. We find that topological chiral superconducting states with Chern number N = 1, 2, 4 (namely, p + ip, d + id, and g + ig) appear over a large parameter region with a moire ' filling factor around n = 1. At some special values of applied electric field and in the presence of a weak out-of-plane Zeeman field, spin-polarized pair-density-wave (PDW) superconductivity can emerge. This spin-polarized PDW state can be probed by experiments such as spin-polarized STM measuring spin-resolved pairing gap and quasiparticle interference. Moreover, the spin-polarized PDW could lead to a spin-polarized super-conducting diode effect.
