Abstract

We studied formation of charge density wave between valleys in a system with a double-well-like dispersive valence band relevant for the rhombohedral graphene trilayer. In a regime with 2 Fermi surfaces, electron- and hole-like: one of radius pip_i, another of pop_o, an instability in particle-hole channel appears at q=qc+δqq=q_c+\delta q, where qc=popiq_c=p_o-p_i. In a weak coupling regime (x/ϵF1x/\epsilon_F\ll 1) presence of an additional energy scale mqcδq\propto m q_c\delta q gives rise to several regimes with distinct spectrum and transport properties: in a regime with small order parameter xmpFδqx\lessapprox m p_F \delta q Fermi arcs show up and substantially change conductance. At larger values of the order parameter Fermi arcs are gapped out. Regimes are also distinguished by different effective exponents γ\gamma in conductance correction στDγ\sigma\propto \tau_D^\gamma where τD\tau_D is scattering time off disorder and 1γ21\leq\gamma\leq 2.
