Effect of superconductivity on the shape of flat bands
Abstract For the first time, basing both on experimental facts and our theoretical consideration, we show that Fermi systems with flat bands should be tuned with the superconducting state. Experimental measurements on magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene of the Fermi velocityVFas a function of the temperatureTcof superconduction phase transition have revealed, whereNs(0) is the density of states at the Fermi level. We show that the high-Tccompoundsexhibit the same behavior. Such observation is a challenge to theories of high-Tcsuperconductivity, sinceVFis negatively correlated withTc, for. We show that the theoretical idea of forming flat bands in strongly correlated Fermi systems can explain this behavior and other experimental data collected on bothand twisted bilayer graphene. Our findings place stringent constraints on theories describing the nature of high-Tcsuperconductivity and the deformation of flat band by the superconducting phase transition.
