Abstract

Recent experimental progress has established the twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) as a highly tunable platform for studying many-body physics. Particularly, the homobilayer TMDs under displacement field are believed to be described by a generalized triangular-lattice Hubbard model with a spin-dependent hopping phase θ\theta. To explore the effects of θ\theta on the system, we perform density matrix renormalization group calculations for the relevant triangular lattice t-J model. By changing θ\theta at small hole doping, we obtain a region of quasi-long-range superconducting order coexisting with charge and spin density wave within 0<θ<π/30<\theta<\pi/3. The superconductivity is composed of a dominant spin singlet dd-wave and a subdominant triplet pp-wave pairing. Intriguingly, the Sz=±1S_z=\pm 1 triplet pairing components feature pair density waves. In addition, we find a region of triplet superconductivity coexisting with charge density wave and ferromagnetism within π/3<θ<2π/3\pi/3<\theta<2\pi/3, which is related to the former phase at smaller θ\theta by a combined operation of spin-flip and gauge transformation. Our findings provide insights and directions for experimental search for exotic superconductivity in twisted TMD systems.
