Family of magnetic field-boosted superconductors in rhombohedral graphene

Researchers have discovered a new family of magnetic field-boosted superconductors in rhombohedral graphene, specifically in tetralayer and pentalayer configurations. These materials exhibit enhanced and induced superconductivity under both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields, surpassing the Pauli limit by tens of times. The findings suggest that these superconductors are more robust against impurities compared to conventional types. The study highlights the role of proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in generating new superconducting states without adding disorder. This research could advance the development of non-Abelian quasiparticles through interfacial engineering in ultra-clean conditions.
