Abstract

We study the largest-angle twisted homo-bilayer (LA-THB) systems, hosting Moir\'eless quasi-crystal (QC) structure. We propose to use these materials to generate high-angular-momentum (HAM) topological superconductivities (TSCs) protected by their QC symmetries absent on conventional crystalline materials. This proposal is based on our universal Ginzburg-Landau theory based analysis which yields the general conclusion that, when each DnD_n-symmetric (nn is even) monolayer hosts SC with pairing angular momentum ln2l\le \frac{n}{2}, the interlayer Josephson coupling will induce SC with pairing angular momentum L=lL=l or L=nlL=n-l in the LA-THB, determined by microscopic details. The latter one is just the HAM TSC if l>0l>0. Based on our revised perturbational-band theory, we develop general microscopic framework to study the QC LA-THBs involving electron-electron interactions, adopting which we study three examples, i.e. the 30^\circ- twisted bilayer graphene, the 30^\circ- twisted bilayer BC3_3, and the 45^\circ- twisted bilayer cuprates. The g+igg+ig- h+ihh+ih- and d+idd+id- TSCs with HAM L=4,5L=4,5 and 22 can emerge in certain doping regimes in these systems, respectively.
