$(2+1)d$狄拉克费米子的奇异量子相变

Exotic Quantum Phase Transitions of $(2+1)d$ Dirac fermions

Kevin Slagle, Yi-Zhuang You, Cenke Xu

摘要:

利用行列式量子蒙特卡罗(d-QMC)模拟,我们证明了双层蜂窝晶格上的扩展哈伯德模型具有两个新的量子相变。第一种是弱相互作用的无带隙狄拉克费米子相和强相互作用的完全带隙对称平凡相之间的量子相变,这不能用标准的Gross-Neveu模型描述。第二个是自旋$S^z$守恒的量子自旋霍尔绝缘体和前面提到的强相互作用完全带隙相之间的量子临界点。在后一个量子临界点,单粒子激发仍然是有间隙的,而自旋和电荷间隙都关闭。我们认为第一个量子相变与拓扑超导体$^3\text{He-B}$相的$\mathbb{Z}_{16}$分类有关,而第二个量子相变是一个由玻色子O(4)非线性σ模型场论描述的具有$Θ$ -项的拓扑相变.

英文摘要:

Using determinant quantum Monte Carlo (d-QMC) simulations, we demonstrate that an extended Hubbard model on a bilayer honeycomb lattice has two novel quantum phase transitions. The first is a quantum phase transition between the weakly interacting gapless Dirac fermion phase and a strongly interacting fully gapped and symmetric trivial phase, which cannot be described by the standard Gross-Neveu model. The second is a quantum critical point between a quantum spin Hall insulator with spin $S^z$ conservation and the previously mentioned strongly interacting fully gapped phase. At the latter quantum critical point the single particle excitations remain gapped, while spin and charge gap both close. We argue that the first quantum phase transition is related to the $\mathbb{Z}_{16}$ classification of the topological superconductor $^3\text{He-B}$ phase with interactions, while the second quantum phase transition is a topological phase transition described by a bosonic O(4) nonlinear sigma model field theory with a $Θ$-term.
