| contents | In this paper, we propose a general scheme to realize chiral TSCs through the "twistronics". Suppose we have a $D_n$-symmetric monolayer superconductor, which carries non-topological SC with pairing angular momentum $L=n/2$. Here we propose that we can obtain chiral TSC with the same $L$, by stacking two such monolayers with the largest twist angle $π/n$, forming a Moireless quasi-crystal (QC) structure, dubbed as the twist-bilayer QC (TB-QC) here. The chiral TSC in the TB-QC is driven by the interlay Josephson coupling between the pairing order parameters of the two layers. An argument based on the universal Ginzburg-Landau theory is provided to understand this proposal. One known example which fits our proposal is the $d+id$-chiral TSC in the 45$^\circ$-twisted bilayer cuprates. Here, based on the microscopic framework developed previously to treat with the electron-electron interactions in the TB-QC, we demonstrate the application of our proposal to a new example, i.e., the $f+if$-chiral TSC obtained by twisting two properly-doped honeycomb-Hubbard-model monolayers by the angle 30$^\circ$. This example is related to the newly synthesized 30$^\circ$-twisted bilayer graphene. |
