Coexistence of Canted Antiferromagnetism and Bond-order in $\nu=0$ Graphene

Abstract

Motivated by experimental studies of graphene in the quantum Hall regime, we revisit the phase diagram of a single sheet of graphene at charge neutrality. Because of spin and valley degeneracies, interactions play a crucial role in determining the nature of ground state. We show that, generically, in the regime of interest there is a region of coexistence between magnetic and bond orders in the phase diagram. We demonstrate this result both in continuum and lattice models, and argue that the coexistence phase naturally provides an explanation for unreconciled experimental observations on the quantum Hall effect in graphene.
