Electric field-induced chiral d+id superconducting state in AA-stacked bilayer graphene: A quantum Monte Carlo study

Abstract

Using constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method, we systematically study the Hubbard model on AA-stacked honeycomb lattices with electric field. Our simulation demonstrates a dominant chiral d + id wave pairing induced by the electric field at half filling. In particular, as the on-site Coulomb interaction increases, the effective pairing correlation of chiral d + id superconducting state exhibits increasing behavior. We attribute the electric field induced d + id superconductivity to an increased density of states near the Fermi energy and an suppressed antiferromagnetic spin correlation after turning on the electric field. Our results strongly suggest the AA-stacked graphene system with electric field is a good candidate for chiral d + id superconductors.
