Abstract

Transition metal chalcogenide TaNiSe, a promising material for the excitonic insulator, is investigated on the basis of the quasi-one-dimensional three-chain Hubbard model with two conduction () bands and one valence () band. In the semimetallic case where only one of two bands and the band cross the Fermi level, the transition from the - compensated semimetal to the uniform excitonic insulator takes place at low temperature as the same as in the semiconducting case. On the other hand, when another band also crosses the Fermi level, the system shows three types of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) excitonic orders characterized by the condensation of excitons with finite center-of-mass momentum corresponding to the three types of nesting vectors between the imbalanced two and one Fermi surfaces. The obtained FFLO states are metallic in contrast to the excitonic insulator and are expected to be observed in semimetallic TaNiSe under high pressure.
