Abstract
Inspired by experiments on magic angle-twisted bilayer graphene, we present a lattice mean-field model for the quantum anomalous Hall effect in a moir\'e setting. Our hopping Hamiltonian provides a simple route to a moir\'e Chern insulator in commensurately twisted systems. We study our model in the ribbon geometry and demonstrate the presence of thick chiral edge states that have a transverse localization that scales with the moir\'e lattice spacing. We also study the electronic structure of a domain wall between opposite Chern insulators. Our model and results are relevant to experiments that will image or manipulate the moir\'e quantum anomalous Hall edge states.
