We explain why this circumstance creates openings for broken symmetry states, including antiferromagnetic states in monolayer and bilayer graphene and exciton condensates in double-layer graphene, that are momentum space analogs of the real-space order common in systems with strong local interactions. We discuss some similarities among, and some differences between, these three broken symmetry states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-01-18T17:56:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "double-layer graphene", "pseudospin order", "broken symmetry states", "materials two-dimensional honeycomb crystal structure", "valence band wavefunctions differ" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physica Scripta Volume T", "year": 2012, "month": "Jan", "volume": 146, "pages": "014012" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhST..146a4012M" } } }
