We study metal-insulator transitions between Mott insulators and metals. The transition mechanism completely different from the original dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) emerges from a cluster extension of it. A consistent picture…

We study how the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) is influenced when we deal with electrons with different angular momenta. For lithium we found an essential effect when we include $p$-orbitals in the description of the Hilbert space.…

The effects of mass imbalance in a three-component Hubbard model are studied by the dynamical mean-field theory combined with exact diagonalization. The model describes a fermion-fermion mixture of two different particle species with a mass…

When electron-electron interaction dominates over other electronic energy scales, exotic, collective phenomena often emerge out of seemingly ordinary matter. The strongly correlated phenomena, such as quantum spin liquid and unconventional…

We discuss a metal-insulator transition caused by random couplings of magnetic moments in itinerant systems. An analytic solution for the single particle Green function is derived from dynamical self consistency equations, the corresponding…
