▎ 摘  要

We investigate the correlated electrons in the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene by using the slave-rotor mean-field theory. Owing to the extended figure of Wannier orbitals, we study the two-orbital cluster Hubbard model with spin-valley fourfold degeneracy, focusing around half-filling of valence bands below the neutrality point. The theory predicts multiple Mott insulator phases at fractional fillings not only for integer charges per moire site, and it demonstrates that long-range electron hopping is highly suppressed because multiple-charge excitations are induced. Furthermore, the Kekule valence bond order is investigated and is found to extend the Mott insulator phases to occupy a finite doping region. Adjacent to Mott insulator phases, superconducting domes emerges by virtue of spin-valley fluctuations. This work has provided a primal understanding and interesting phenomena of the correlated system, and for its unique interaction the model might produce plenty of possibilities waiting to be explored.
