Moiré flat Chern bands and correlated quantum anomalous Hall states generated by spin-orbit couplings in twisted homobilayer MoS_{2}

We predict that in a twisted homobilayer of transition-metal dichalcogenide MoS_{2}, spin-orbit coupling in the conduction band states from ±K valleys, can give rise to moiré flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers in each valley. The nontrivial band topology originates from a unique combination of an...
