Artificial moir\'e engineering for an ideal BHZ model
Abstract
We demonstrate that (001) grown Cd3As2 thin films with a superlattice-patterned gate can potentially realize the moir\'e Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang (BHZ) model. Our calculations identify the parameterization region necessary to achieve topological flat mini-bands with a C4z symmetric and a C6z symmetric potential. Additionally, we show that a spin-polarized state can serve as the minimal platform for hosting the moir\'e induced quantum anomalous Hall effect, supported by Hartree Fock interaction kernel analysis and self-consistent mean field calculations.
