We investigate the effects of disorder within the T=0 Brinkman-Rice (BR) scenario for the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two dimensions (2d). For sufficiently weak disorder the transition retains the Mott character, as signaled by…
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 critical properties of the finite temperature Mott endpoint are drastically altered by a coupling to crystal elasticity, i.e., whenever it is amenable to pressure tuning. Similar as for critical piezoelectric ferroelectrics, the Ising…

Using information of the ground state topology and the damage spreading technique we show a Griffiths-like phase is present in the three-dimensional $\pm J$ Edwards-Anderson spin glass model. With spin-flipping dynamics damage spreads for…
