Fig. 2: Modeling normal-state fermiology in double-layer two-valley electron liquids with 30∘ twist.

a Real-space triangular lattices for two layers of spin-triplet valley-singlet (STVS) superconductors stacked with angular twist θ. Dots in red (blue) denote lattice sites R (\(\tilde{{{{{{{{\bf{R}}}}}}}}}\)) in layer 1 (2) with lattice constant a = 2.46 Å. Hopping parameter t = 1 eV in all figures. b Fermi surface (FS) contours around ± K points of two decoupled layers at θ = 30∘ for chemical potential 2.4t < μ < 3t. G2, G3 denote reciprocal lattice vectors in layer 1. (c) Dual-momentum space lattice points km (red dots) and \({\tilde{{{{{{{{\bf{p}}}}}}}}}}_{n}\) (blue dots) for a fixed momentum k0 in units of 2π/a (see subsection “Dual momentum-space tight-binding model" in Methods). Red (blue) hexagons denote Wigner-Seitz cells in reciprocal lattice of layer 1 (2). Note that the original location of each km in the first Brillouin zone is exactly the location measured from the center of the red hexagon that contains it. Bloch momenta near ± K and \(\pm \tilde{K}\) in (b) are covered by m, n = 1, 2, . . . , 6 (encircled dots) as k0 varies in momentum-space. Inset: Fourier transform t⊥(q) of inter-layer coupling, t⊥(K) extrapolated at Ka/π = 4/3. (d) Band structure of \({{{{{{{{\mathcal{H}}}}}}}}}_{0,{{{{{{{\rm{eff}}}}}}}}}\) with topmost bands indexed by p = 1, 2, 3. Dashed lines indicate chemical potentials of FS contours shown in (e–h). Units of k0,x, k0,y axes are in Å−1. Red (blue) ± symbols indicate signs of pairing in layer 1 (2).
