Topological Chiral Superconductivity in the Triangular-Lattice Hofstadter-Hubbard Model
Abstract
Moiré materials provide exciting platforms for studying the interplay of strong electronic correlation and large magnetic flux effects. We study the lightly doped Hofstadter-Hubbard model on a triangular lattice through the large-scale density matrix renormalization group and determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We find strong evidence for a robust chiral superconducting (SC) phase with dominant power-law pairing correlations and a quantized spin Chern number. The SC phase emerges at very weak interaction and grows stronger at intermediate interaction strengths (U) for a wide range of hole doping. We also discuss the possible distinct nature of the normal state in different U regimes. Our Letter provides theoretical insights into the emergence of topological superconductivity from doping topological Chern bands or magnetic-flux-induced chiral spin liquid states of Moiré materials.
