Tuning superconductivity and charge density wave order by next-nearest-neighbor hopping integral in honeycomb Holstein model

arXiv:2606.16260 · doi:10.1103/nsr6-w9kj

Abstract

By using unbiased determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the interplay between superconductivity and charge density wave order in the Holstein model on a honeycomb lattice with next-nearest-neighbor hopping \(t^{\prime}\). We find that a finite negative \(t^{\prime}\) enhances \(s\)-wave superconducting pairing susceptibility near the van Hove fillings in the weak electron-phonon coupling regime, while it suppresses superconductivity and promotes charge density wave order at intermediate electron-phonon coupling strengths. The effect of \(t^{\prime}\) on a charge density wave is filling-dependent: It suppresses the charge density wave at half filling but enhances it near the van Hove singularities. A spectral analysis reveals the opening of a gap at low temperatures, highlighting the competitive relationship between superconducting and charge density wave orders mediated by electron-phonon coupling and tuned by \(t^{\prime}\).
