Density Wave Instability of Composite Fermi Liquid
arXiv:2001.03202 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.033414
Abstract
We investigate the density-wave instability of non-Fermi liquid states by combining exact diagonalization with renormalization group analysis. At the half-filled zeroth Landau level, we study the fate of the composite Fermi liquid in the presence of the mass anisotropy and mixed Landau level form factors. These two experimentally accessible knobs trigger a phase transition towards a unidirectional charge-density-wave state with a wavevector equal to of the composite Fermi liquid. Based on exact diagonalization, we identify such a transition by examining both the energy spectra and the static structure factor of charge density-density correlations. Moreover, the renormalization group analysis reveals that gauge fluctuations render the non-Fermi liquid state unstable against density-wave orders, consistent with numerical observations. Possible experimental probes of the density-wave instability are also discussed.
