石墨烯的$p_{x,y}$轨道对应物:蜂窝光晶格中的冷原子

The $p_{x,y}$-orbital counterpart of graphene: cold atoms in the honeycomb optical lattice

Congjun Wu, S. Das Sarma

摘要:

我们研究了二维蜂窝光晶格中$p_{x,y}$轨道带中相互作用无自旋费米子的基态性质,它表现出与石墨烯的$p_z$轨道系统中不同的新特性.紧束缚能带结构在整个布里渊区除了两个狄拉克锥色散带外,还呈现出另外两个完全平坦的带。在实际的正弦光学势下,平坦带获得有限的但比色散带小得多的带宽。带平坦度显着增强相互作用的影响,从而产生各种电荷和键有序状态在相称的填充$n=\frac{i}{6} (i=1 \sim 6)$。在$n=1/6$中,多体基态可以精确地解为密排六边形态,即使在弱相互作用下也可以稳定。键合强度的二聚化发生在$n=1/2$和5/6两种情况下,后一种情况伴随着空穴的电荷密度波。在$n={1/3},{2/3}$处出现键强度和电荷不均匀性的三聚化。这些结晶顺序展示自己的飞行时间谱的噪声相关性。

英文摘要:

We study the ground state properties of the interacting spinless fermions in the $p_{x,y}$-orbital bands in the two dimensional honeycomb optical lattice, which exhibit different novel features from those in the $p_z$-orbital system of graphene. In addition to two dispersive bands with Dirac cones, the tight-binding band structure exhibits another two completely flat bands over the entire Brillouin zone. With the realistic sinusoidal optical potential, the flat bands acquire a finite but much smaller band width compared to the dispersive bands. The band flatness dramatically enhanced interaction effects giving rise to various charge and bond ordered states at commensurate fillings of $n=\frac{i}{6} (i=1 \sim 6)$. At $n=1/6$, the many-body ground states can be exactly solved as the close packed hexagon states which can be stabilized even in the weak interacting regime. The dimerization of bonding strength occurs at both $n=1/2$ and 5/6, and the latter case is accompanied with the charge density wave of holes. The trimerization of bonding strength and charge inhomogeneity appear at $n={1/3},{2/3}$. These crystalline orders exhibit themselves in the noise correlations of the time of flight spectra.
