Emergence of asymmetric fermionic order in interacting birefringent fermions
arXiv:2001.06760 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.245126
Abstract
The birefringent fermions possess a spectrum with two distinct Fermi velocities. Here based on the lattice model, we use the mean-field method to investigate the interaction-induced phase transitions of the birefringent fermions. We consider both the short-range nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) repulsive interactions and calculate the phase diagrams under different conditions. We find that the NN interactions can induce the asymmetric charge density wave order, while the NNN interactions can drive the asymmetric quantum anomalous Hall order (AQAH) in the large limit of anisotropy in the hopping integrals, β\rightarrow 1. The AQAH order is characterized by the unequal loop currents connecting the NNN sites and by the appearance of a gap between the two conduction (valence) bands. Such asymmetric fermionic orders can be attributed to the specific lattice geometry of the birefringent fermions. The implications of our results for experiments are also discussed.
