Moiré optical phonons dancing with heavy electrons in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Electron-phonon coupling in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene is an
important but difficult topic. We propose a scheme to simplify and understand
this problem. Weighted by the coupling strength with the low-energy heavy
electrons (f orbitals), several moiré optical phonons are singled out
which strongly couple to the flat bands. These modes have localized envelopes
in the moiré scale, while in the atomic scale they inherit the monolayer
oscillations like the Kekulé pattern. They flip the flavor of f orbitals,
helping stabilize some symmetry-breaking orders. Such electron-phonon couplings
are incorporated into an effective extended Holstein model, where both phonons
and electrons are written as moiré scale basis. We hope this model will
inspire some insights guiding further studies about the superconductivity and
other correlated effects in this system.
