MO Theory and Covalent Bonding

The molecular orbital theory describes the distribution of electrons in molecules in a manner similar to the distribution of electrons in atomic orbitals. The region of space in which a valence electron in a molecule is likely to be found is called a molecular orbital. Mathematically, the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) generates molecular orbitals. Combinations of in-phase atomic orbital wave functions result in regions with a high probability of electron density, while...

Valence Bond Theory

Valence Bond Theory

Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which they are composed. In an attempt to explain the bonding and structure of coordination complexes, Linus Pauling proposed the valence bond theory, or VBT, using the concepts of hybridization and the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. According to VBT, the central metal atom or ion (Lewis acid) hybridizes to provide empty orbitals of suitable...

Area of Science:

Condensed Matter Physics
Quantum Simulation
Ultracold Atomic Gases

Background:

Experimental advances enable the creation of dipolar Fermi gases near quantum degeneracy.
These systems allow for the engineering of Hubbard-like models with tunable long-range interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

To theoretically map the phase diagram of interacting dipolar fermions on a square lattice at zero temperature and half filling.
To identify novel emergent phases beyond conventional orders in these systems.

Main Methods:

Theoretical investigation of interacting dipolar fermions.
Zero-temperature phase diagram analysis on a square lattice.
Characterization of emergent bond order phases.

Main Results:

Identification of p-wave superfluid and charge density wave orders.
Discovery of two novel exotic bond order phases.
These phases exhibit homogeneous density with modulated kinetic hopping energies.

Conclusions:

Dipolar fermion systems provide a flexible platform for realizing exotic quantum phases.
The discovered bond orders are analogous to hypothesized "density waves of nonzero angular momentum."
These findings are experimentally accessible with current techniques.
