摘要:

双层石墨烯(BLG)为通过相互作用稳定的对称性破缺态提供了丰富的平台。在这项工作中,我们研究了BLG在量子霍尔制度的填充因子$ν=0$的Hartree-Fock近似下的相图。在最简单的非相互作用情况下,这个系统在费米能附近有八个(接近)简并的朗道能级,其特征是自旋、谷和轨道量子数。在我们的研究中,我们纳入了两个以前没有考虑过的效应:(i)单粒子哈密顿量中三角弯曲的非微扰效应,以及(ii)区分轨道能量的短程SU(4)破缺相互作用。我们在这个模型中发现了一组丰富的相,包括铁磁相、层极化相、倾斜反铁磁相、凯库勒相、“自旋谷纠缠”态和“破碎U(1)$\times$ U(1)”相。这最后一种状态涉及层和谷自由度中的独立自发对称性破缺,并且先前未被识别。我们目前的相图作为层间偏置$D$和垂直磁场$B_{\perp}$的各种相互作用和塞曼耦合的函数,并讨论这可能是相关的BLG在最近的测量。还讨论了各种相和它们之间的过渡的实验性质。

英文摘要:

Bilayer graphene (BLG) offers a rich platform for broken symmetry states stabilized by interactions. In this work we study the phase diagram of BLG in the quantum Hall regime at filling factor $ν=0$ within the Hartree-Fock approximation. In the simplest non-interacting situation this system has eight (nearly) degenerate Landau levels near the Fermi energy, characterized by spin, valley, and orbital quantum numbers. We incorporate in our study two effects not previously considered: (i) the nonperturbative effect of trigonal warping in the single-particle Hamiltonian, and (ii) short-range SU(4) symmetry-breaking interactions that distinguish the energetics of the orbitals. We find within this model a rich set of phases, including ferromagnetic, layer-polarized, canted antiferromagnetic, Kekulé, a "spin-valley entangled" state, and a "broken U(1) $\times$ U(1)" phase. This last state involves independent spontaneous symmetry breaking in the layer and valley degrees of freedom, and has not been previously identified. We present phase diagrams as a function of interlayer bias $D$ and perpendicular magnetic field $B_{\perp}$ for various interaction and Zeeman couplings, and discuss which are likely to be relevant to BLG in recent measurements. Experimental properties of the various phases and transitions among them are also discussed.
