摘要:

电荷-4e超导性是一种奇异的物质态,可作为具有多分量超导序参量的电荷-2e超导体的残余序涌现,在晶格模型中通过数值精确的大规模计算展示其涌现的案例仍较为罕见。本文提出一种具有向列超导基态的kagome晶格模型,通过大规模蒙特卡洛模拟证明其在升高的温度下支持丰富的残余相,包括电荷-4e相和准长程向列相。结合理论分析与蒙特卡洛模拟,我们揭示这些相的本质,证明相变由不同拓扑缺陷的增殖主导,这些缺陷包括(1/2,0)半超导涡旋、(1/2,1/2)涡旋、(0,1)整数向列涡旋以及畴壁激发。特别地,我们证明畴壁增殖对准向列相至关重要,在分析与残余电荷-4e序相关的相变时需仔细考虑这一点。

英文摘要:

Charge-$4e$ superconductivity is an exotic state of matter that may emerge as a vestigial order from a charge-$2e$ superconductor with multicomponent superconducting order parameters. Showing its emergence in a lattice phase model from numerically exact large-scale computations has remained rare. Here, we propose a kagome lattice model with a nematic superconducting ground state and show that it supports a rich set of vestigial phases at elevated temperatures, including a charge-$4e$ phase and a quasi-long-range nematic phase, through large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. Combining theoretical analysis with Monte Carlo simulations, we uncover the nature of these phases and show that the phase transitions are governed by the proliferation of distinct topological defects: the $(\tfrac{1}{2},0)$ half superconducting vortices, the $(\tfrac{1}{2},\tfrac{1}{2})$ vortices, the $(0,1)$ integer nematic vortices, and domain-wall excitations. In particular, we demonstrate that domain-wall proliferation is crucial for the quasi-nematic phase and should be carefully accounted for when analyzing phase transitions associated with vestigial charge-$4e$ order.
