扭曲双层石墨烯中的相关绝缘相

Correlated Insulating Phases in the Twisted Bilayer Graphene

Yuan Da Liao, Xiao Yan Xu, Zi Yang Meng, Jian Kang

摘要:

我们回顾了扭曲双层石墨烯中相关绝缘态的解析和数值研究,重点是实空间晶格模型的构建及其无偏量子多体解。我们表明,通过构建局域化的Wannier态的窄带,投影库仑相互作用可以近似为集群电荷与辅助最近邻跳跃项的相互作用。仅考虑相互作用部分,考虑自旋和谷自由度,哈密顿量是$SU(4)$对称的。在忽略动力学项的强耦合极限下,基态位于具有简并性的$SU(4)$流形中。动力学项作为微扰打破了这种大的$SU(4)$对称性,促使谷间相干态、量子拓扑绝缘体和其他破缺绝缘态的出现。我们首先介绍了莫尔晶格模型的理论分析,然后展示了如何解决该模型与大规模量子蒙特卡罗模拟在一个公正的方式。我们进一步提供了潜在的方向,从实空间模型的构建和它的量子多体解决方案如何扭曲的双层石墨烯的相关物理的令人困惑的,但令人兴奋的实验发现可以逐步理解。本文的综述有助于读者更好地把握扭曲双层石墨烯模型研究这一快速发展的领域。

英文摘要:

We review analytical and numerical studies of correlated insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene, focusing on real-space lattice models constructions and their unbiased quantum many-body solutions. We show that by constructing localized Wannier states for the narrow bands, the projected Coulomb interactions can be approximated by interactions of cluster charges with assisted nearest neighbor hopping terms. With the interaction part only, the Hamiltonian is $SU(4)$ symmetric considering both spin and valley degrees of freedom. In the strong coupling limit where the kinetic terms are neglected, the ground states are found to be in the $SU(4)$ manifold with degeneracy. The kinetic terms, treated as perturbation, break this large $SU(4)$ symmetry and propel the appearance of intervalley coherent state, quantum topological insulators and other symmetry-breaking insulating states. We first present the theoretical analysis of moiré lattice model construction and then show how to solve the model with large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations in an unbiased manner. We further provide potential directions such that from the real-space model construction and its quantum many-body solutions how the perplexing yet exciting experimental discoveries in the correlation physics of twisted bilayer graphene can be gradually understood. This review will be helpful for the readers to grasp the fast growing field of the model study of twisted bilayer graphene.
