摘要:

我们考虑在近铁电界面处形成的二维电子气(2DEG)与极化声子强烈耦合的情况。通过自洽的微观点许多体计算,我们表明耦合系统稳定了一种复合电子-晶格有序态,其中晶格极化自发形成极化密度波(PDW),同时伴随2DEG中的电子条纹有序。这种交织的有序部分重构了电子能谱,并产生了两倍的准粒子各向异性,从而在单粒子水平上产生电子单轴性。然而,在强外部电场下,单轴响应被复合有序的集体滑动动力学主导:滑动运动压倒了准粒子各向异性,并产生了更强的单轴信号,具有更高阶的角谐波。该理论为最近在KTaO3(111)界面观察到的几种异常传输和各向异性响应提供了自然解释。我们还估计了这种新兴有序态的平均场相变温度,结果与实验有良好的一致性,并分析了其在几种调节参数下的演变。所提出的复合有序态,以及由外部电场诱导的从准粒子驱动到滑动主导的单轴性转变,提供了一种源自许多体效应和集体动力学的单轴性机制,在临界电子-玻色系统中具有应用前景,超越了铁电平台。

英文摘要:

We consider a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed at a near-ferroelectric interface and strongly coupled to polar phonons. Through a self-consistent microscopic many-body calculation, we show that the coupled system stabilizes a composite electron-lattice ordered state in which the lattice polarization spontaneously forms a polarization density wave (PDW), accompanied by an electronic stripe order in the 2DEG. This intertwined order partially reconstructs the electronic spectrum and generates a twofold quasiparticle anisotropy, giving rise to electronic nematicity at the single-particle level. However, under strong external electric fields, the nematic response becomes dominated by the collective sliding dynamics of the composite order: the sliding motion overwhelms the quasiparticle anisotropy and produces a strongly enhanced nematic signal with higher-order angular harmonics. The theory offers a natural explanation for several anomalous transport and anisotropic responses recently observed at the KTaO$_3$ (111) interface. We also estimate the mean-field transition temperature of this emergent ordered state, obtaining good agreement with experiments, and analyze its evolution with several tuning parameters. The proposed composite order, along with the field-induced crossover from quasiparticle-driven to sliding-dominated nematicity, provides a distinct mechanism of nematicity arising from many-body effects and collective dynamics in critical electron-boson systems, with applicability beyond ferroelectric platforms.
