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

Abstract

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.
