Abstract
We demonstrate a first order metal-insulator phase transition in the repulsive, fully frustrated, single-band Hubbard model as a function of the coupling to a fermion bath. Time dependent manipulation of the bath coupling allows switching between metallic and insulating states both across the phase transition and within the coexistence region. We propose a simple nanoelectronic device for experimentally realizing dynamic control of the bath coupling. Analysis of the device characteristics shows that it can act as a two-terminal memristor.
