Moiré Surface States and Enhanced Superconductivity in Topological Insulators

Recently, moiré superlattices have been found on the surface of topological insulators due to the rotational misalignment of topmost layers. In this work, we study the effects of moiré superlattices on the topological surface states using a continuum model of Dirac electrons moving in a periodic pot...
