We study a two-band Hubbard model using the dynamical mean-field theory combined with the exact diagonalization method. At the electron density $n=2$, a transition from a band-insulator to a correlated semimetal occurs when the on-site…
The role of Coulomb correlations in the iron pnictide LaFeAsO is studied by generalizing exact diagonalization dynamical mean field theory to five orbitals. For rotationally invariant Hund's rule coupling a continuous transition from a…

The structures, the phase diagrams, and the appearance of a neutron resonance in the superconducting state provide phenomenological evidence which relate the heavy fermion, cuprate and Fe superconductors. Single- and multi-band Hubbard…
Here I extend my last work about the origin of the pseudo-gaps in underdoped cuprates (arXiv: cond-mat. 1011.3206), to include the mechanism of superconductivity. This is done by adapting the formalism of the double correlations in systems…
The strong electron correlation in the cuprates can lead to an enhanced effective mass for both bosonic and fermionic quasiparticles. Where this correlation is characterized by a length that is inversely proportional to the effective…
I propose a superconductivity model, which is based on the assumption that stripes in high-Tc cuprates (a) exist and (b) organize themselves in a two-dimensional superstructure. The model describes hole states, which are localized either…

When a van-Hove singularity is located in the vicinity of the Fermi level, the electronic scattering rate acquires a non-analytic contribution. This invalidates basic assumptions of Fermi liquid theory and within perturbative treatments…
The underlying physics of the magnetic-field-induced resistive state in high temperature cuprate superconductors remains a mystery. One interpretation is that the application of magnetic field destroys the d-wave superconducting gap to…
We theoretically analyze some of the anomalies of the optical sumrules in the high-temperature superconductors. In particular we address the particularly strong dependence on temperature of the sumrule in the normal state. Both…
We examine the possibility of high temperature superconductivity from two-dimensional semiconductor without antiferromagnetic fluctuations. The weak coupling BCS theory is applied, especially where the Fermi level is near the bottom of the…

Current theories of high-temperature superconductivity in flat-band systems predict a linear dependence of the transition temperature on the attractive interaction, $T_c(U) = c|U|$. However, neither the value of $c$ nor the full nonlinear…
