Quantum materials featuring both itinerant and localized degrees of freedom exhibit numerous exotic phases and transitions that deviate from the Ginzburg-Landau paradigm. This work uses the composite operator formalism to examine the…
At the Mott transition, electron-electron interaction changes a metal, in which electrons are itinerant, to an insulator, in which electrons are localized. This phenomenon is central to quantum materials. Here we contribute to its…
A fundamental issue of the Mott transition is how electrons behaving as single particles carrying spin and charge in a metal change into those exhibiting separated spin and charge excitations (low-energy spin excitation and high-energy…
