Orbital-selective Mott transitions in the degenerate Hubbard model

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We investigate the Mott transitions in two-band Hubbard models with different bandwidths. Applying dynamical mean field theory, we discuss the stability of itinerant quasi-particle states in each band. We demonstrate that separate Mott transitions occur at different Coulomb interaction strengths in general, which merge to a single transition only under special conditions. This kind of behavior may be relevant for the physics of the single-layer ruthenates, Ca2x_{2-x}Srx_xRuO4_4.
