Phonon induced Superconductivity of High Temperatures in Electrical Graphene Superlattices

Abstract

We discuss the BCS theory for electrons in graphene with a superimposed electrical unidirectional superlattice potential (SL). New Dirac points emerge together with van Hove singularities (VHS) linking them. We obtain a superconducting transition temperature Tc T_c for chemical potentials close to the VHS assuming that acoustic phonon coupling should be the dominant mechanism. Pairing of two onsite electrons with one electron close to the K {\bf K} and the other close to the K -{\bf K} point is the most stable pair formation. The resulting order parameter is almost constant over the entire SL.
