We study a simplified model of the electronic structure of compounds of the type of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$. The model represents each Mn$^{4+}$ ion by a spin S=1/2, on which an electron can be added to produce Mn$^{3+}$. We include two…

Disorder can profoundly affect the transport properties of a wide range of quantum materials. Presently, there is significant disagreement regarding the effect of disorder on transport in the disordered Bose-Hubbard (DBH) model, which is…
The correlation-driven Mott transition is commonly characterized by a drop in resistivity across the insulator-metal phase boundary; yet, the complex permittivity provides a deeper insight into the microscopic nature. We investigate the…
The pyrochlore lattice involves corner sharing tetrahedra and the resulting geometric frustration is believed to suppress any antiferromagnetic order for Mott insulators on this structure. There are nevertheless short-range correlations…
