• Title: Orbital selective order and $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Potts nematicity from a non-Fermi liquid
• Authors: YuZheng Xie, Andrew Hardy, Arun Paramekanti
• Abstract summary: We study systems where a high temperature non-Fermi liquid gives way to low temperature $mathbbZ_3$ Potts nematic order. On the 3D cubic lattice, the low temperature uniform $mathbbZ_3$ nematic state corresponds to an orbital selective layered state. On the 2D triangular lattice, the low temperature state with uniform orbital order is also a correlated $mathbbZ_3$ nematic with orbital-selective transport.

• Abstract: Motivated by systems where a high temperature non-Fermi liquid gives way to low temperature $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Potts nematic order, we studied a three-orbital Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model in the large-$N$ limit. In the single-site limit, this model exhibits a spontaneous orbital-selective transition which preserves average particle-hole symmetry, with two orbitals becoming insulators while the third orbital remains a non-Fermi liquid down to zero temperature. We extend this study to lattice models of three-orbital SYK dots, exploring uniform symmetry broken states on the triangular and cubic lattices. At high temperature, these lattice models exhibit an isotropic non-Fermi liquid metal phase. On the three-dimensional (3D) cubic lattice, the low temperature uniform $\mathbb{Z}_3$ nematic state corresponds to an orbital selective layered state which preserves particle-hole symmetry at small hopping and spontaneously breaks the particle-hole symmetry at large hopping. Over a wide range of temperature, the transport in this layered state shows metallic in-plane resistivity but insulating out-of-plane resistivity. On the 2D triangular lattice, the low temperature state with uniform orbital order is also a correlated $\mathbb{Z}_3$ nematic with orbital-selective transport but it remains metallic in both principal directions. We discuss a Landau theory with $\mathbb{Z}_3$ clock terms which captures salient features of the phase diagram and nematic order in all these models. We also present results on the approximate wavevector dependent orbital susceptibility of the isotropic non-Fermi liquid states.

We describe how the features of the regimes in the $T$-$U$ plane can be explored with alkaline-earth-like atoms in optical lattices.

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
