Making Chiral Topological Superconductivities from Non-topological Superconductivities Through the Twist
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a general scheme to realize chiral TSCs through the "twistronics". Suppose we have a -symmetric monolayer superconductor, which carries non-topological SC with pairing angular momentum . Here we propose that we can obtain chiral TSC with the same , by stacking two such monolayers with the largest twist angle , forming a Moireless quasi-crystal (QC) structure, dubbed as the twist-bilayer QC (TB-QC) here. The chiral TSC in the TB-QC is driven by the interlay Josephson coupling between the pairing order parameters of the two layers. An argument based on the universal Ginzburg-Landau theory is provided to understand this proposal. One known example which fits our proposal is the -chiral TSC in the 45-twisted bilayer cuprates. Here, based on the microscopic framework developed previously to treat with the electron-electron interactions in the TB-QC, we demonstrate the application of our proposal to a new example, i.e., the -chiral TSC obtained by twisting two properly-doped honeycomb-Hubbard-model monolayers by the angle 30. This example is related to the newly synthesized 30-twisted bilayer graphene.
