Ordering in SU(4)-symmetric model of AA bilayer graphene
arXiv:2306.05796 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.205153
Abstract
We examine possible ordered states of AA stacked bilayer graphene arising due to electron-electron coupling. We show that under certain assumptions the Hamiltonian of the system possesses an SU(4) symmetry. The multicomponent order parameter is described by a matrix , for which a mean-field self-consistency equation is derived. This equation allows Hermitian and non-Hermitian solutions. Hermitian solutions can be grouped into three topologically-distinct classes. First class corresponds to the charge density wave. Second class includes spin density wave, valley density wave, and spin-valley density wave. An ordered state in the third class is a combination of all the aforementioned density-wave types. For anti-Hermitian the ordered states are characterized by spontaneous inter-layer loop currents flowing in the bilayer. Depending on the topological class of the solution these currents can carry charge, spin, valley, and spin-valley quanta. We also discuss the special case when matrix is not Hermitian and not anti-Hermitian. Utility and weak points of the proposed SU(4)-based classification scheme of the ordered states are analyzed.
