Replica higher-order topology of Hofstadter butterflies in twisted bilayer graphene
Abstract The Hofstadter energy spectrum of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is found to have recursive higher-order topological properties. We demonstrate that higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) phases, characterized by localized corner states, occur as replicas of the original HOTIs to fulfill...
