摘要
Twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors were recently proposed as a promising platform to host superconducting phases that spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry. Here we extend this analysis to twisted multilayers, focusing on two high-symmetry stackings with alternating ($\pm θ$) and constant ($θ$) twist angles. In analogy to alternating-twist multilayer graphene, the former can be mapped to twisted bilayers with renormalized interlayer couplings, along with a remnant gapless monolayer when the number of layers $L$ is odd. In contrast, the latter exhibits physics beyond twisted bilayers, including the occurrence of `magic angles' characterized by cubic band crossings when $L \mod 4 = 3$. Owing to their power-law divergent density of states, such multilayers are highly susceptible to secondary instabilities. Within a BCS mean-field theory, defined in the continuum and on a lattice, we find that both stackings host chiral topological superconductivity in extended regions of their phase diagrams.
