Superconductivity is strongly enhanced when the inner and outer Fermi surfaces are close to each other. The most prevalent state has chiral p-wave symmetry, but d-wave and extended s-wave pairing are also possible. We discuss these results in the context of rhombohedral trilayer graphene, where superconductivity was recently discovered in regimes where the normal state has an annular Fermi surface. Using realistic parameters, our mechanism can account for the order of magnitude of Tc, as well as its trends as a function of electron density and perpendicular displacement field. Moreover, it naturally explains some of the outstanding puzzles in this material, that include the weak temperature dependence of the resistivity above Tc, and the proximity of spin singlet superconductivity to the ferromagnetic phase.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.00011","open_access":"1"}],"department":[{"_id":"MaSe"}],"issue":"24","date_published":"2021-12-09T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2023-08-14T13:19:13Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"12","day":"09","type":"journal_article","project":[{"grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank Yang-Zhi Chou, Andrey Chubukov, Johannes Hofmann, Steve Kivelson, Sri Raghu, and Sankar das Sarma, Jay Sau, Fengcheng Wu, and Andrea Young for many stimulating discussions and for their comments on the manuscript.
