Abstract

The recent advent of artificial structures has triggered the emergence of fascinating phenomena that could not exist in natural compounds. A prime example is twisted multilayers, i.e., moir\'e superlattices represented by magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). As in the case of MATBG, unconventional band hybridization can induce a new type of superconductivity: artificial band engineering by twist induces properties different from the original systems. Here, we apply this perspective to a monolayer superconductor NbSe2_2 stacked with a twist on doped graphene. We show that the superconducting states of the NbSe2_2 layer change dramatically by varying the twist angle. Our result shows that twist tuning, in addition to substrate effects, will provide a strategy for designing monolayer superconductors with high controllability.
