Strong electronic correlations are often associated with the proximity of a Mott insulating state. In recent years however, it has become increasingly clear that the Hund's rule coupling (intra-atomic exchange) is responsible for strong…
To clarify the nature of correlations in Hund metals and its relationship with Mott physics we analyze the electronic correlations in multiorbital systems as a function of intraorbital interaction U, Hund's coupling JH and electronic…
Hund's coupling plays a decisive role in shaping electron correlations of multi-orbital systems, giving rise to a class of materials--Hund's metals--that combine local-moment physics with metallic transport. Here we derive an effective…
We study the interplay between electron-electron interaction and a Jahn-Teller phonon coupling in a two-orbital Hubbard model. We demonstrate that the e-ph interaction coexists with the Mott localization driven by the Hubbard repulsion U,…
Physical properties of multi-orbital materials depend not only on the strength of the effective interactions among the valence electrons but also on their type. Strong correlations are caused by either Mott physics that captures the Coulomb…
We show how in multi-band materials, the Hund's coupling plays a crucial role in tuning the degree of electronic correlation. While in half-filled systems it enhances the correlations, in all other cases it pushes the boundary for the Mott…
We study the doping-driven Mott metal-insulator transition for multi-orbital Hubbard models with Hund's exchange coupling at finite temperatures. As in the single-orbital Hubbard model, the transition is of first-order within dynamical mean…
Multiorbital Hubbard models host strongly correlated 'Hund's metals' even for interactions much stronger than the bandwidth. We characterize this interaction-resilient metal as a mixed-valence state. In particular it can be pictured as a…
Multiorbital systems such as the iron-based superconductors provide a new avenue to attack the longstanding problem of superconductivity in strongly correlated systems. In this work we study the superconductivity driven by a generic bosonic…
We study the interplay between Mott physics, driven by Coulomb repulsion U, and Hund physics, driven by Hund's coupling J, for a minimal model for Hund metals, the orbital-symmetric three-band Hubbard-Hund model (3HHM) for a lattice filling…
The varying metallic antiferromagnetic correlations observed in iron-based superconductors are unified in a model consisting of both itinerant electrons and localized spins. The decisive factor is found to be the sensitive competition…
We show that in multi-band metals the correlations are strongly affected by the Hund's rule coupling, which depending on the filling promotes metallic, insulating or bad-metallic behavior. The quasiparticle coherence and the proximity to a…
Hund metals are multi-orbital systems with moderate Coulomb interaction, $U$, and sizeable Hund's rule coupling, $J<U$, that aligns the spins in different orbitals. They show strong correlation effects, like very low Fermi-liquid coherence…
We analyze multi-orbital Hubbard models describing Hund's metals, focusing on the ubiquitous occurrence of a charge instability, signalled by a divergent/negative electronic compressibility, in a range of doping from the half-filled Mott…
Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates RE$_{1-\delta}$Sr$_\delta$NiO$_2$ (RE$=$Nd, Pr), we study the role of Hund's coupling $J$ in a quarter-filled two-orbital Hubbard model which has been on…
We propose a way to identify strongly Hund-correlated materials by unveiling a key signature of Hund correlations at the two-particle level. The defining feature is the {\it sign} of the response of the {\it frozen spin ratio} (the…

Hund's pairing refers to Cooper pairing generated by onsite interactions that become attractive due to large Hund's exchange $J$. This is possible in multiorbital systems even when all local bare interactions are repulsive, since attraction…
