Extended Data Fig. 1: Superconductivity in rhombohedral tetralayer graphene device T2.
From: Signatures of chiral superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene

a, Optical micrograph and illustration of the structure of rhombohedral tetralayer graphene, in which the electrons are polarized to the layer far away from WSe2. Scale bar, 3 μm. b, Four-terminal resistance Rxx as a function of ne and gate displacement field D/ε0. Four regions show zero Rxx (labelled as SC1–SC4, respectively) and superconductivity. SC1 and SC2 show fluctuations, whereas SC3 and SC4 are smooth. c, Temperature dependence of the four superconducting states, with critical temperatures extracted from the comparison of I–V with the BKT model. See Extended Data Fig. 2. d, Differential resistance dVxx/dI as a function of current I and out-of-plane magnetic field B⊥ in the SC3 and SC4 states. Both states show peaks of dV/dI as a signature of superconductivity at small magnetic fields. The superconductivity is killed below 30 mT, similar to that of most graphene-based superconductors. e,f, Rxx and Rxy maps at 0.1 T, extracted by symmetrizing and antisymmetrizing the data taken at B⊥ = ±0.1 T. The fluctuations in SC1, SC2 and neighbouring states all disappear. In f, SC1 (SC2) is surrounded (neighboured) by states that show anomalous Hall signals. The value of normal Hall signals at the same ne can be seen in the high-D part of the map. g,h, Magnetic hysteresis scans of Rxy taken at the red and orange circle positions in d, showing loops that are consistent with the anomalous Hall signals in f. i, Rxx map taken at B⊥ = 1.5 T. The period of quantum oscillations indicates a QM (as labelled by the arrow) that neighbours SC1. Combined with the anomalous Hall signals as shown in f, this QM is a spin-polarized and valley-polarized phase. j, Rxx in SC1 (at ne = 0.55 × 1012 cm−2 and D/ε0 = 1.02 V nm−1) as a function of time, featuring fluctuations when gate voltages are fixed. k,l, Representative magnetic hysteresis of Rxx taken in SC1 (at ne = 0.57 × 1012 cm−2 and D/ε0 = 1.05 V nm−1) and SC2 (at ne = 0.7 × 1012 cm−2 and D/ε0 = 1.16 V nm−1). We note that one of the four terminals was damaged during measurement, resulting in only three-terminal resistance measurement being possible.
