Abstract We perform a systematic determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) study of the dominating pairing symmetry in a doped honeycomb lattice. The Hubbard model is simulated over a full range of filling levels for both weak and strong interactions. For weak couplings, the d-wave state dominates. The effective susceptibility as a function of filling shows a peak, and its position moves toward half filling as the temperature is increased, from which the optimal filling of the superconducting ground state is estimated. Although the sign problem becomes severe for strong couplings, the simulations access the lowest temperature at which the DQMC method generates reliable results. As the coupling is strengthened, the d-wave state is enhanced in the high-filling region. Our systematic DQMC results provide new insights into the superconducting pairing symmetry in the doped honeycomb lattice.

In the DQMC method, the inverse temperature is discretized to L pieces to isolate the interaction term using the Trotter approximation. The trace of the partition function is translated into a determinant of a real matrix, which contains a product of L matrixes. Since L is large at low temperatures, there is a bigger chance that the determinant becomes negative. Moreover strong interactions make the values of the elements in the matrix large, which further increases the probability of a negative determinant. Of course, the sign problem is very complex, and we only provide a qualitative expanation why it becomes severe upon lowering the temperature and increasing the interaction strength.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
