二维和三维超导体的电荷- $4e$超导性

Charge-$4e$ superconductivity from nematic superconductors in 2D and 3D

Shao-Kai Jian, Yingyi Huang, Hong Yao

摘要:

电荷- $4e$超导电性作为一种新的物质相至今仍是一个谜.在这里,我们表明,电荷- $4e$相可以出现作为一个残留秩序以上的超导转变温度的时间反演不变的超导体。一方面,非平凡的拓扑缺陷--超临界涡旋--在超临界刚度小于超流刚度时,在超导相涡旋上受到能量上的青睐;因此,随着温度的升高,电荷- $4e$相通过超临界涡旋的增殖而出现。另一方面,Ginzburg-Landau理论的超导体有两个不同的去耦通道,无论是电荷- $4e$订单或订单;通过分析之间的竞争的有效质量的电荷- $4e$订单和立方势的订单,我们发现了一个相当大的制度,电荷- $4e$订单是有利的。这两个分析一致地表明,超导体可以提供实现电荷- $4e$相的有希望的途径,这可以应用于候选超导体,例如PbTaSe $_2$和扭曲双层石墨烯。

英文摘要:

Charge-$4e$ superconductivity as a novel phase of matter remains elusive so far. Here we show that charge-$4e$ phase can arise as a vestigial order above the nematic superconducting transition temperature in time-reversal-invariant nematic superconductors. On the one hand, the nontrivial topological defect -- nematic vortex -- is energetically favored over the superconducting phase vortex when the nematic stiffness is less than the superfluid stiffness; consequently the charge-$4e$ phase emerges by proliferation of nematic vortices upon increasing temperatures. On the other hand, the Ginzburg-Landau theory of the nematic superconductors has two distinct decoupling channels to either charge-$4e$ orders or nematic orders; by analyzing the competition between the effective mass of the charge-$4e$ order and the cubic potential of the nematic order, we find a sizable regime where the charge-$4e$ order is favored. These two analysis consistently show that nematic superconductors can provide a promising route to realize charge-$4e$ phases, which may apply to candidate nematic superconductors such as PbTaSe$_2$ and twisted bilayer graphene.
