Description

In this work, we study the magnetic impurity resonance states in the superconducting phase of 'magic' angle twisted bilayer graphene for different pairing symmetries. Using a two-orbital model on the emergent honeycomb lattice, we find that the resonance states are dramatically different for -wave pairing and topological nontrivial pairings. When the magnetic impurity is located at one site of the emergent honeycomb lattice, i.e. the center of the AB spot of the moiré pattern, the spacial distributions of the resonance states will break both the threefold and twofold rotation symmetries of point group for pairing symmetries which belong to the irreducible representations of this point group. When the magnetic impurity is located at the center of the emergent honeycomb lattice i.e. the center of the AA spot of the moiré pattern, the appearance of resonance peak at the position close to the impurity can be considered as a strong evidence of non--wave pairing.
