Charge compressibility and quantum magnetic phase transition in MoS
arXiv:1412.8134 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.91.235301
Abstract
We investigate the ground-state properties of monolayer MoS incorporating the Coulomb interaction together with a short-range intervalley interaction between charged particles between two valleys within the Hartree-Fock approximation. We consider four variables as independent parameters, namely homogeneous charge (electron or hole) density, averaged dielectric constant, spin degree of freedom and finally the Hubbard repulsion coefficient which originates mostly from orbits of Mo atoms. We find the electronic charge compressibility within the mean-field approximation and show that non-monotonic behavior of the compressibility as a function of carrier density which is rather different from those of the two-dimensional electron gas. We also explore a paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic quantum phase transition for the wide range of the electron density in the parameter space.
