Title: Competing electronic orders on a heavily doped honeycomb lattice with enhanced exchange coupling
(Submitted on 10 Dec 2020 (v1), last revised 19 Jul 2021 (this version, v2))
Abstract: Motivated by recent discovery of correlated insulating and superconducting behavior in twisted bilayer graphene, we revisit graphene's honeycomb lattice doped close to the van Hove singularity, using the truncated unity functional renormalization group approach. We consider an extended Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice including on-site and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsions, and nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange and pair hopping interactions. By varying the strength of the nearest-neighbor exchange coupling and Coulomb repulsion as free parameters, we present rich ground-state phase diagrams which contain the spin-triplet $f$-wave and spin-singlet chiral $d$-wave superconducting phases, the commensurate and incommensurate spin- and charge-density-wave phases, and the ferromagnetic phase. In the absence of the exchange coupling and for small value of the nearest-neighbor repulsion, the four-sublattice spin-density-wave phase is generated right around the van Hove filling, while the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity emerges slightly away from it. Surprisingly, the chiral $d$-wave superconductivity is strongly suppressed by weak nearest-neighbor exchange coupling in our calculations. We argue that this suppression might be one of the reasons why the chiral superconductivity proposed for doped graphene has not yet been observed experimentally.
