Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigate if and how the valence-bond-solid (VBS) state emerges in the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice when the Peierls-type electron-lattice coupling is introduced. We consider all possible lattice-distortion patterns allowed for this lattice model for graphene which preserve the reflection symmetry and determine the most stable configuration in the adiabatic limit by using an unbiased quantum Monte Carlo method. The VBS phase with Kekul\'{e} dimerization is found to appear as an intermediate phase between a semimetal and an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator for a moderately rigid lattice. This implies that the undistorted semimetallic graphene can be driven into the VBS phase by applying strain, accompanied by the single-particle excitation gap opening.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

グラフェンには高いキャリア移動度という際立った特徴があるため、電界効果型トランジスタ等への実用化が期待されている。そのためには何らかの手段によって電荷ギャップを導入することが望まれているが、今のところ決定的な手法は確立されていない。本研究は、グラフェンにおける実効的な電子間相互作用が比較的大きいことに着目し、電子間相互作用と電子格子相互作用の協奏によおる絶縁体化へのルートを探すことを目的としており、工学的に大きな波及効果を持つことが期待される。
