Abstract

Twisted Van der Waals systems offer the unprecedented possibility to tune different states of correlated quantum matter with an external non-invasive electrostatic doping. The nature of the superconducting order presents a recurring open question in this context. In this work, we quantitatively assess the case of spin-fluctuation-mediated pairing for Γ\Gamma-valley twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers. We self-consistently and dynamically calculate the doping dependent superconducting transition temperature TcT_{\mathrm{c}} revealing a superconducting dome with a maximal Tc0.11T_{\mathrm{c}}\approx 0.1-1 K depending on twist angle. We compare our results with conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity and identify clear fingerprints in the doping dependence of TcT_{\mathrm{c}}, which allow experiments to distinguish between different pairing mechanisms.
