For continuous Mott metal-insulator transitions in layered two dimensional systems, we demonstrate the phenomenon of dimensional decoupling: the system behaves as a three-dimensional metal in the Fermi liquid side but as a stack of…
The Mott transition in honeycomb compounds with significant spin-orbit coupling is explored. At finite temperatures we identify a novel semimetallic phase located between a topological insulator and a topological Mott insulator. This…
Many Mott systems feature a first-order metal-insulator transition at finite temperatures, with an associated phase coexistence region displaying inhomogeneities and local phase separation. Here one typically finds "bubbles" or domains of…
