We have investigated the Mott transition in a quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator EtMe$_3$P[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ with a spin-frustrated triangular lattice in hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field. In the pressure-temperature ($P$-$T$) phase…
The widely-used Kohn-Sham implementation of density functional theory (DFT) maps a system of interacting electrons onto an auxiliary non-interacting one and is presumably inaccurate for strongly correlated materials. We present a concrete…

We study the t-J-V model of a doped Mott insulator in connection to high-T_c superconductors. The nearest neighbor Coulomb interaction (V) is treated quantum mechanically on equal footing as the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction (J).…
We investigate the phases of the ionic Hubbard model in a two-dimensional square lattice using determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC). At half-filling, when the interaction strength or the staggered potential dominate we find Mott and band…
We present and analyze an exactly solvable interacting fermionic pairing model, which features interactions that entangle states at momenta $\mathbf{k}$ and $-\mathbf{k}$. These interactions give rise to novel correlated ground states,…

The Mott metal-insulator transition in the two-band Hubbard model in infinite dimensions is studied by using the linearized dynamical mean-field theory recently developed by Bulla and Potthoff. The phase boundary of the metal-insulator…
While the phase diagrams of the one- and multi-orbital Hubbard model have been well studied, the physics of real Mott insulators is often much richer, material dependent, and poorly understood. In the prototype Mott insulator…

Unconventional phases often occur where two competing mechanisms compensate. An excellent example is the ionic Hubbard model where the alternating local potential $\delta$, favoring a band insulator (BI), competes with the local repulsion…
