AI总结:

研究激子量子相变,提出双层金属态向层间相干态的连续相变及其非费米液体逆流响应,适用于双层石墨烯和零磁场下半满窄Chern能带系统,揭示了2D材料层间相干性新物理。

摘要:

我们研究了一族激子量子相变,描述了双层金属态向激子凝聚的层间相干态的演化。我们论证了此类相变可以是连续的,并展现出非费米液体逆流响应 ${ρ_{\mathrm{counterflow}}(ω)\simω^{2/z}}$,该响应直接编码了动力学临界指数 $z$。我们的计算是在 $z = 2$ 附近的受控展开中进行的。这种物理适用于任何具有自旋、谷或层自由度的系统。我们考虑了激子量子临界性的两种情境:(1)弱相互作用双层石墨烯,以及(2)在零外加磁场下,两个半满的窄Chern能带系统,其总Chern数 $C_{\mathrm{tot}}=0$,这有望很快在moiré材料中实现。后一系统容纳了一对时间反演的composite Fermi liquid态,复合费米子的激子凝聚导致了一种具有电荷中性费米面的奇异激子绝缘体*态。我们的工作为2D材料中层间相干跃迁的物理提供了新见解。

英文摘要:

We study a family of excitonic quantum phase transitions describing the evolution of a bilayer metallic state to an inter-layer coherent state where excitons condense. We argue that such transitions can be continuous and exhibit a non-Fermi liquid counterflow response ${ρ_{\mathrm{counterflow}}(ω)\simω^{2/z}}$ that directly encodes the dynamical critical exponent $z$. Our calculations are performed within a controlled expansion around $z = 2$. This physics is relevant to any system with spin, valley, or layer degrees of freedom. We consider two contexts for excitonic quantum criticality: (1) a weakly interacting graphene bilayer, and (2) a system of two narrow, half-filled Chern bands at zero external magnetic field, with total Chern number $C_{\mathrm{tot}}=0$, which may soon be realizable in moiré materials. The latter system hosts a time-reversed pair of composite Fermi liquid states, and the condensation of excitons of the composite fermions leads to an exotic exciton insulator* state with a charge neutral Fermi surface. Our work sheds new light on the physics of inter-layer coherence transitions in 2D materials.
