Abstract
We investigate the topological properties of twisted bilayer superconductors with different even-parity pairings in each layer. In the presence of spin–orbit coupling, the Hamiltonian is mapped into an effective odd-parity superconductor. Based on this, we deduce the topological properties by examining the relative configuration between Fermi surface and Dirac pairing node. We show that mixed Rashba and Dresselhaus spin–orbit coupling and anisotropic hopping terms, which break the C 4 symmetry of the Fermi surface, can induce first-order topological superconductors with non-zero bulk Chern number. This provides a versatile way to control the topological phases of bilayer superconductors by adjusting the twisted angle and chemical potential. We demonstrate our results using a typical twisted angle of 53.13°, at which the translation symmetry is restored and the Chern number and edge state are calculated using the Moiré momentum.
