Abstract

Based on our revised perturbational-band theory, we study possible pairing states driven by interaction in the electron-doped quasicrystal 30\degree-twisted bilayer graphene. Our mean-field study on the related t-J model predicts that, the beneath-van-Hove and beyond-van-Hove low doping regimes are covered by the chiral d+idd+id and g+igg+ig topological superconductivities (TSCs) respectively. The g+igg+ig-TSC possesses a pairing angular momentum 4, and hence following each effective C12C_{12}- rotation by Δϕ=nπ/6\Delta\phi=n\pi/6, the pairing phase changes 4Δϕ4\Delta\phi. This intriguing TSC is novel, as it belongs to a special 2D E4E_4- irreducible representation of the effective D12D_{12} point group unique to this quasicystal and absent on periodic lattices. The Ginzburg-Landau theory suggested that the g+igg+ig- TSC originates from the Josephson coupling between the d+idd+id pairings on the two mono-layers.
