Unconventional superconductivity in graphene.

Caption

Experimental data from trilayer graphene (bottom) shows two circular Fermi surfaces, creating a ring-like shape, in which the occupied electronic states lie (top). In unconventional superconductivity, the electrons are assumed to be “glued” together by an interaction, not to be confused with their usual interaction of electrical repulsion.
