Chiral quantum phase transition in moiré Dirac materials — •Ana García-Page1 and Laura Classen1,2 — 1Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, D-70569 Stuttgart, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Technical University of Munich, D-85748 Garching, Germany
Strong enough interactions induce a semimetal-to-insulator transition in Dirac materials, which can be viewed as the solid-state analogue of the chiral phase transition in quantum chromodynamics. Moiré Dirac materials such as twisted bilayer graphene offer a new opportunity to study this transition because they facilitate tuning the effective interaction via a twist angle. Motivated by this, we explore the quantum phase transition of a 2D Dirac material which spontaneously develops a gap that breaks an Ising symmetry. We model it via an effective Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory and employ the functional renormalisation group method to map out the phase diagram. We analyse the quantum critical behavior at the transition and investigate the effect of a chemical potential which introduces a finite charge density.
