Band insulator to Mott insulator transition in 1T-TaS2

YD Wang, WL Yao, ZM Xin, TT Han, ZG Wang… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract 1 T-TaS2 undergoes successive phase transitions upon cooling and eventually
enters an insulating state of mysterious origin. Some consider this state to be a band …

Mottness versus unit-cell doubling as the driver of the insulating state in 1T-TaS2

CJ Butler, M Yoshida, T Hanaguri, Y Iwasa - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
If a material with an odd number of electrons per unit-cell is insulating, Mott localisation may
be invoked as an explanation. This is widely accepted for the layered compound 1 T-TaS2 …

High-spin to low-spin and orbital polarization transitions in multiorbital Mott systems

P Werner, AJ Millis - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We study the interplay of crystal field splitting and Hund coupling in a two-orbital model
which captures the essential physics of systems with two electrons or holes in the eg shell …

Rotationally invariant slave-boson formalism and momentum dependence of the quasiparticle weight

F Lechermann, A Georges, G Kotliar, O Parcollet - Physical Review B …, 2007 - APS
We generalize the rotationally invariant formulation of the slave-boson formalism to
multiorbital models, with arbitrary interactions, crystal fields, and multiplet structure. This …

Resolving the controversy: Mott mechanism dominates the insulator-to-metal transition

O Nájera, M Civelli, V Dobrosavljević, MJ Rozenberg - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We consider a minimal model to investigate the metal-insulator transition in VO 2. We adopt
a Hubbard model with two orbitals per unit cell, which captures the competition between …

Coherent light control of a metastable hidden state

J Maklar, J Sarkar, S Dong, YA Gerasimenko… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Metastable phases present a promising route to expand the functionality of complex
materials. Of particular interest are light-induced metastable phases that are inaccessible …

Mottness in two-dimensional van der Waals monolayers

Y Zhang, Y Gu, H Weng, K Jiang, J Hu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We investigate strong electron-electron correlation effects on two-dimensional van der
Waals materials Nb 3 X 8 (X= Cl, Br, and I). We find that the monolayers Nb 3 X 8 are ideal …

Doublonlike excitations and their phononic coupling in a Mott charge-density-wave system

CJ Butler, M Yoshida, T Hanaguri, Y Iwasa - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
Electron-phonon-driven charge-density waves can in some circumstances allow electronic
correlations to become predominant, driving a system into a Mott insulating state. New …

Effective bandstructure in the insulating phase versus strong dynamical correlations in metallic

JM Tomczak, F Aryasetiawan, S Biermann - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2008 - APS
Using a general analytical continuation scheme for cluster dynamical mean-field
calculations, we analyze real-frequency self-energies, momentum-resolved spectral …

Band insulator to Mott insulator transition in a bilayer Hubbard model

SS Kancharla, S Okamoto - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2007 - APS
The ground-state phase diagram of the half-filled repulsive Hubbard model in a bilayer is
investigated using cluster dynamical mean-field theory. For weak to intermediate values of …
