Competing electronic orders on a heavily doped honeycomb lattice with enhanced exchange coupling

Motivated by recent discovery of correlated insulating and superconducting behavior in twisted bilayer graphene, we revisit graphene's honeycomb lattice doped close to the van Hove singularity, using the truncated unity functional renormalization group approach. We consider an extended Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice including on-site and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsions, and nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange and pair hopping interactions. By varying the strength of the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling and Coulomb repulsion as free parameters, we present rich ground-state phase diagrams which contain the spin-triplet $f$-wave and spin-singlet chiral $d$-wave superconducting phases, the commensurate and incommensurate spin- and charge-density-wave phases, and the ferromagnetic phase. In the absence of the exchange coupling and for small value of the nearest-neighbor repulsion, the four-sublattice spin-density-wave phase is generated right around the van Hove filling, while the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity emerges slightly away from it. Surprisingly, the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity is strongly suppressed by weak nearest-neighbor exchange coupling in our calculations. We argue that this suppression might be one of the reasons why the chiral superconductivity proposed for doped graphene has not yet been observed experimentally.

New discrete method for investigating the response properties in finite electric field

In this paper we develop a new discrete method for calculating the dielectric tensor and Born effective charge tensor in finite electric field by using Berry's phase and the gauge invariance. We present a new method to overcome non-periodicity of the potential in finite electric field due to the gauge invariance, and construct the dielectric tensor and Born effective charge tensor that satisfy translational symmetry in finite electric field. In order to demonstrate the correctness of this method, we also perform calculations for the semiconductors AlAs and GaAs under the finite electric field to compare with the preceding method and the experiment.

Effect of exchange interaction on electronic instabilities in the honeycomb lattice: A functional renormalization group study

The impact of local and nonlocal density-density interactions on the electronic instabilities in the honeycomb lattice is widely investigated. Some early studies proposed the emergence of interaction-induced topologically nontrivial phases, but recently, it was denied in several works including renormalization group calculations with refined momentum resolution. We use the truncated unity functional renormalization group to study the many-body instabilities of electrons on the half-filled honeycomb lattice, focusing on the effect of the exchange interaction. We show that varying the next-nearest-neighbor repulsion and nearest-neighbor exchange integral can lead to diverse ordered phases, namely, the quantum spin Hall, the spin-Kekulé, and some spin- and charge-density-wave phases. The quantum spin Hall phase can be induced by a combination of the ferromagnetic exchange and pair hopping interactions. Another exotic phase, the spin-Kekulé phase, develops in a very small region of the parameter space considered. We encounter the three-sublattice charge-density-wave phase in a large part of the parameter space. It is replaced by the incommensurate charge density wave when increasing the exchange integral. In order to reduce the computational effort, we derive the explicit symmetry relations for the bosonic propagators of the effective interaction and propose a linear-response-based approach for identifying the form factor of order parameter. Their efficiencies are confirmed by numerical calculations in our work.

A calculation scheme for spectral densities of strongly correlated electron systems using exact diagonalization of dynamical mean field theory

A new approach for calculating spectral density functions of strongly correlated electron systems is proposed within the exact diagonalization method of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). This approach is based on the analytic continuation of spectral density function obtained by conventional exact diagonalization method of DMFT and its results are more reasonable in shape. As an example of its application, the Mott transition in a strongly correlated electron system is investigated using this new approach.

One approach for determining susceptibilities and order parameters in multi-band Hubbard model

We present an approach for determining susceptibilities and order parameters in multi-band Hubbard model within functional renormalization group method, and apply it to study various instabilities of the FeAs-based high temperature superconductor. First, we derive the formulae of susceptibilities and order parameters of superconducting parings, spin density waves and charge density waves with diverse wave vectors which could occur in multi-band Hubbard model. Second, we apply it to the FeAs-based high temperature superconductor and find an electronic-driven superconducting pairing instability within a five band model with pure repulsive interactions. Our study shows that for doping of our concern, there is competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting instabilities. In addition, we show that for doping of 0.1, the susceptibility of extended s-wave pairing is dominant over others, while a staggered superconducting pairing with has the second largest value of susceptibility.
