蜂窝晶格Hubbard模型中的Kekulé价键序及其可能适用于石墨烯的晶格畸变

Kekulé valence bond order in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with possible lattice distortions for graphene

Yuichi Otsuka, Seiji Yunoki

AI总结:

本研究通过无偏量子蒙特卡洛方法,发现蜂窝晶格Hubbard模型在Peierls耦合下,Kekulé二聚化的价键固体相作为半金属与反铁磁Mott绝缘体之间的中间相出现,表明应变可驱动石墨烯进入该相并打开能隙。

摘要:

我们研究了在引入Peierls型电子-晶格耦合时,蜂窝晶格上的Hubbard模型中价键固体(VBS)态是否以及如何出现。我们考虑了该适用于石墨烯的晶格模型所允许的所有保持反射对称性的可能晶格畸变模式,并使用无偏量子蒙特卡洛方法在绝热极限下确定了最稳定的构型。我们发现,具有Kekulé二聚化的VBS相出现在半金属与反铁磁Mott绝缘体之间的中间相,对应于中等刚性晶格。这意味着未畸变的半金属石墨烯可通过施加应变被驱动进入VBS相,并伴随单粒子激发能隙的打开。

英文摘要:

We investigate if and how the valence-bond-solid (VBS) state emerges in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice when the Peierls-type electron-lattice coupling is introduced. We consider all possible lattice-distortion patterns allowed for this lattice model for graphene which preserve the reflection symmetry and determine the most stable configuration in the adiabatic limit by using an unbiased quantum Monte Carlo method. The VBS phase with Kekulé dimerization is found to appear as an intermediate phase between a semimetal and an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator for a moderately rigid lattice. This implies that the undistorted semimetallic graphene can be driven into the VBS phase by applying strain, accompanied by the single-particle excitation gap opening.
