Moiré edge states in twisted bilayer graphene and their topological relation to quantum pumping
arXiv:2012.02537 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.155410
Abstract
We study the edge states of twisted bilayer graphene and their topological origin. We show that the twisted bilayer graphene has special edge states associated with the moiré pattern, and the emergence of these moiré edge states is linked with the sliding Chern number, which describes topological charge pumping caused by relative interlayer sliding. When one layer of the twisted bilayer is relatively slid with respect to the other layer, the edge states are transferred from a single band to another across the band gap, and the number of the edge states pumped in a sliding cycle is shown to be equal to the sliding Chern number of the band gap. The relationship can be viewed as a manifestation of the bulk-edge correspondence inherent in moiré bilayer systems.
