Abstract:
Using the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method, we systematically study the half-filled Hubbard model on AA-stacked honeycomb lattice. Our simulations demonstrate that a dominant chiral d + id wave superconductivity can be induced by a perpendicular electric field. At a fixed electric field, the effective pairing interaction of chiral d + id superconductivity exhibits an increasing behavior with increasing the on-site Coulomb interaction. We attribute the electric field-induced d + id superconductivity to an increased density of states near the Fermi energy and robust antiferromagnetic spin correlation upon turning on electric field. Our results strongly suggest that the AA-stacked graphene system is a good candidate for chiral d + id superconductor.

π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates
Consider a cross-section of a thin, infinite conducting plate having a positive charge. For such a large thin plate, as the thickness of the plate tends to zero, the positive charges lie on the plate's two large faces. Without an external electric field, the...
Electric Field of Two Equal and Opposite Charges
A separation of the positive and negative charges can lead to a weak, remnant effect of the positive and negative charges. The expectation is that the more the distance between the positive and...
Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...
Electric Field Inside a Conductor
Suppose a piece of metal is placed near a positive charge. The free electrons in the metal are attracted to the external positive charge and migrate freely toward that region. This region then...
