Abstract
Twisted double bilayer graphene is a compensated semimetal near the charge neutrality point with the presence of small electron and hole pockets in its band structure. We show that strong Coulomb attraction between the electrons and holes can lead to the formation of indirect excitons. Condensation of these excitons at low temperature creates an excitonic metal with charge density wave order for an appropriate range of interaction strength. This has interesting implications for low-temperature transport in the system as a function of carrier density and temperature. The reorganization of the single-particle excitations and their density of states in the excitonic metal can lead to peaks in resistivity as a function of carrier density, recently seen in experiments at low temperatures. The fluctuations of the Landau damped order parameter in the quantum critical metal lead to non-Fermi liquid behavior, which can explain the sublinear Formula Presented dependence of the resistance near the charge neutrality point.
