Abstract A many-body system in the vicinity of a first-order phase transition may get trapped in a local minimum of the free energy landscape. These so-called false-vacuum states may survive for exceedingly long times if the barrier for their decay is high enough. The rich phase diagram obtained in graphene multilayer devices presents a unique opportunity to explore transient supercon... https://www.ealisboa.com/special-pick-CRB-Concept-Style-Spinning-Guides-Model-YG-best-find/
