量子几何的概念最近在包括物理响应、超导性和光学跃迁在内的广泛领域中重新激发了洞察力，其效应在具有近乎平坦色散的系统中最为显著。在这里，我们表明它在电荷密度波（CDW）形成中起着至关重要的作用——这是一种重要的物理现象，它驱动材料输运性质的各种急剧变化，包括金属-绝缘体转变。我们推导了一个包含未知贡献的有效Ginzburg-Landau理论，并且作为一个亮点，发现了CDW形成和公度性转变的普遍判据，其中潜在的电子-声子相互作用纯粹表现为电子量子几何增强/抑制。我们在过渡金属二硫属化物类中基准测试了我们的框架，并解决了一个长期存在的难题，即已确立的纯动力学CDW判据在描述正确的有序波矢时失败。除了提供与几个实验电荷有序系统直接相关的稳健判据和基本见解外，我们的理论还可以直接应用于其他声子介导的相，如超导性，并可作为探索各种此类状态之间相互作用的重要工具。更一般地，我们的框架为研究量子几何在相变中的作用提供了方法。
英文摘要
The concept of quantum geometry has recently led to reinvigorated insights in a wide range of fields including physical responses, superconductivity, and optical transitions, with effects most pronounced in systems with nearly flat dispersion. Here, we show that it plays an essential role in charge density wave formation (CDW) -- an important physical phenomenon that is responsible for driving various sharp changes in material transport properties including metal-insulator transitions. We derive an effective Ginzburg-Landau theory including uncharted contributions and, as a highlight, discover a general criterion for both CDW formation and commensurability transitions where underlying electron-phonon interactions manifest purely as electronic quantum geometric enhancements/suppressions. We benchmark our framework in a class of transition-metal dichalcogenides and resolve a longstanding puzzle where well-established purely kinetic CDW criteria fail in describing the correct ordering wavevector. Besides rendering robust criteria and fundamental insights that are immediately relevant to several experimental charge ordering systems, our theory can also be applied directly to other phonon-mediated phases such as superconductivity, and can be used as an important tool to explore the interplay between various such states. More generally, our framework provides a recipe for investigating the role of quantum geometry in phase transitions.
