Albeit structurally and electronically very similar, at low temperature the quasi-one-dimensional vanadium sulfide BaVS3 shows a metal-to-insulator transition via the appearance of a charge-density-wave state, while BaVSe3 apparently…
The debate about whether the insulating phases of vanadium dioxide (VO2) can be described by band theory or must be described by a theory of strong electron correlations remains unresolved even after decades of research. Energy-band…
BaVS3 is a moderately correlated d-electron system with a rich phase diagram. To construct the corresponding minimal electronic model, one has to decide which d-states are occupied, and to which extent. The ARPES experiment presented here…
A sequence of structural transitions occurring in the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) 3d1 system BaVS3 at low temperature was investigated by high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The orthorhombic Cmc21 structure of the…
The competition between kinetic energy and Coulomb interactions in electronic systems can lead to complex many-body ground states with competing superconducting, charge density wave, and magnetic orders. Here we study the low temperature…
New calculations for vanadium dioxide, one of the most controversely discussed materials for decades, reveal that band theory as based on density functional theory is well capable of correctly describing the electronic and magnetic…
We investigate the magnetotransport properties of the one-band Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling in three dimensions (3D) using exact diagonalization based semi-classical Monte Carlo simulations with phonons treated in the adiabatic…
The temperature-induced structural and electronic transformation in VO$_2$ between the monoclinic M1 and tetragonal rutile phases was studied by means of \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics, based on density functional theory with Hubbard…
The correlated electronic structure of the submonolayer surface systems Sn/Si(111) and Sn/Ge(111) is investigated by density-functional theory (DFT) and its combination with explicit many-body methods. Namely, the dynamical mean-field…
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has drawn significant attention for its near room temperature insulator to metal transition and associated structural phase transition. The underlying Physics behind the temperature induced insulator to metal and…
Examining phase stabilities and phase equilibria in strongly correlated materials asks for a next level in the many-body extensions to the local-density approximation (LDA) beyond mainly spectroscopic assessments. Here we put the…
The quasi-one-dimensional metallic system BaVS3 with a metal-insulator transition at T_MI=70 K shows large changes of the optical phonon spectrum, a central peak, and an electronic Raman scattering continuum that evolve in a three-step…
The correlated 3d sulphide BaVS_3 is a most interesting compound because of the apparent coexistence of one-dimensional and three-dimensional properties. Our experiments explain this puzzle and shed new light on its electronic structure.…
The electronic structure of the VAs compound in the zinc-blende structure is investigated using a combined density-functional and dynamical mean-field theory approach. Contrary to predictions of a ferromagnetic semiconducting ground state…
Vanadium dioxide, an archetypal correlated-electron material, undergoes an insulator-metal transition near room temperature that exhibits electron-correlation-driven and structurally-driven physics. Using ultrafast optical spectroscopy and…
Electronic phases that lie outside the equilibrium ground state offer a route to explore competing configurations in correlated materials. In 1T-TaS2, ultrafast excitation accesses a metallic hidden phase that is distinct from the…
Delafossites represent natural heterostructures which can host rather different electronic characteristics in their constituting layers. The design of novel heterostructure architectures highlighting the competition between such varying…
First principle density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the high temperature phase of layered triangular lattice system NaTiO$_2$ have revealed that there exists a collective electronic state energetically close to the ground state…
In the light of new experimental evidence we study the insulating ground state of the $3d^2$-transition metal trihalides VX$_3$ (X=Cl, I). Based on Density Functional Theory with the Hubbard correction (DFT$+U$) we systematically show how…
The underlying mechanism of the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) in BaVS$_3$ is investigated, using dynamical mean-field theory in combination with density functional theory. It is shown that correlation effects are responsible for a…
