Quantum criticality of semi-Dirac fermions in 2 + 1 dimensions
Two-dimensional semi-Dirac fermions are quasiparticles that disperse linearly in one direction and quadratically in the other. We investigate instabilities of semi-Dirac fermions toward charge and spin density wave and superconducting orders, driven by short-range interactions. We analyze the critical behavior of the Yukawa theories for the different order parameters using Wilson momentum shell renormalization group. We generalize to a large number Nf of fermion flavors to achieve analytic control in 2+1 dimensions and calculate critical exponents at one-loop order, systematically including 1/Nf corrections. The latter depend on the specific form of the bosonic infrared propagator in 2+1 dimensions, which needs to be included to regularize divergencies. The 1/Nf corrections are surprisingly small, suggesting that the expansion is well controlled in the physical dimension. The order parameter correlations inherit the electronic anisotropy of the semi-Dirac fermions, leading to correlation lengths that diverge along the spatial directions with distinct exponents, even at the mean-field level. We conjecture that the proximity to the critical point may stabilize novel modulated order phases

Competition between excitonic gap generation and disorder scattering in graphene
We study the disorder effect on the excitonic gap generation caused by strong
Coulomb interaction in graphene. By solving the self-consistently coupled
equations of dynamical fermion gap and disorder scattering rate ,
we found a critical line on the plane of interaction strength and
disorder strength . The phase diagram is divided into two regions: in the
region with large and small , and ; in the
other region, and for nonzero . In particular, there
is no coexistence of finite fermion gap and finite scattering rate. These
results imply a strong competition between excitonic gap generation and
disorder scattering. This conclusion does not change when an additional contact
four-fermion interaction is included. For sufficiently large , the
growing disorder may drive a quantum phase transition from an excitonic
insulator to a metal.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
Surface superconductivity in multilayered rhombohedral graphene: Supercurrent
The supercurrent for the surface superconductivity of a flat-band
multilayered rhombohedral graphene is calculated. Despite the absence of
dispersion of the excitation spectrum, the supercurrent is finite. The critical
current is proportional to the zero-temperature superconducting gap, i.e., to
the superconducting critical temperature and to the size of the flat band in
the momentum space
Hidden charge order of interacting Dirac fermions on the honeycomb lattice
We consider the extended half-filled Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice for second nearest-neighbor interactions. Using a functional integral approach, we find that collective fluctuations suppress topological states and instead favor charge ordering, in agreement with previous numerical studies. However, we show that the critical point is not of the putative semimetal-Mott insulator variety. Due to the frustrated nature of the interactions, the ground state is described by a novel hidden metallic charge order with semi-Dirac excitations. We conjecture that this transition is not in the Gross-Neveu universality class
