Abstract

Using first-principles calculations we have previously shown that placing graphene on a (111)-oriented perovskite $\mathrm{SrTi}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (STO) surface provides a possible doping mechanism [D. Shin and A. A. Demkov, Phys. Rev. B 97, 075423 (2018)]. Further theoretical analysis presented here suggests that coupling of electrons in graphene to interfacial hybrid plasmon/optical modes via remote-phonon scattering may result in an effective attractive electron-electron interaction that, in turn, could lead to electron pairing and superconductivity. Specifically, we consider top-gated graphene supported by STO. Using the full dynamic polarizability within the random phase approximation for the entire system (including the hybrid modes arising from the coupling of the graphene plasmons to the optical phonons of the STO substrate and gate insulator), we estimate the superconducting transition temperature in the strong-coupling limit.
