Electrons in correlated insulators are prevented from conducting by Coulomb repulsion between them. When an insulator-to-metal transition is induced in a correlated insulator by doping or heating, the resulting conducting state can be…
Mott insulators can be portrayed as "unsuccessful metals": systems in which a strong Coulomb repulsion prevents charge conduction notwithstanding the metal-like density of conduction electrons. The possibility to unlock such large density…

We study the resistive switching triggered by an applied electrical bias in antiferromagnetic Mott insulator Sr(3)Ir(2)O(7). The switching was previously associated with an electric-field driven structural transition. Here we use…
