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…
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…
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…
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…
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 show that electron correlations lead to a bad metallic state in chalcogenides FeSe and FeTe despite the intermediate value of the Hubbard repulsion $U$ and Hund's rule coupling $J$. The evolution of the quasi particle weight $Z$ as 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…
A possible practical definition for a Hund's metal is given, as a metallic phase - arising consistently in realistic simulations and experiments in Fe-based superconductors and other materials - with three features: large electron masses,…
Hund's coupling is shown to generally favor, in a doped half-filled Mott insulator, an increase in the compressibility culminating in a Fermi-liquid instability towards phase separation. The largest effect is found about the frontier…
Strong correlation effects caused by Hund's coupling have been actively studied during the past decade. Hund's metal, strongly correlated while far from the Mott insulating limit, was studied as a representative example. However, recently,…
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…
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 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…
We point out the generic competition between the Hund's coupling and the spin-orbit coupling in correlated materials, and this competition leads to an electronic dilemma between the Hund's metal and the relativistic insulators. Hund's…
Using a first-principles approach based on density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory, we study the electronic properties of a new candidate polar metal SrEuMo$_2$O$_6$. Its electronic structure shares similarities with…
Superconductivity and nematicity coexist in the phase diagram of many correlated systems, including iron-based superconductors. We investigate how Hund-driven correlations reshape boson-mediated superconductivity in a multiorbital nematic…
The Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition is investigated in a two-band Hubbard model within dynamical mean-field theory. To this end, we use a suitable extension of Wilson's numerical renormalization group for the solution of the…
Near a Mott transition, strong electron correlations may enhance Cooper pairing. This is demonstrated in the Dynamical Mean Field Theory solution of a twofold-orbital degenerate Hubbard model with inverted Hund's rules on-site exchange,…
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…
Atomic physics has a profound impact on the physical properties of correlated electron materials. This article describes a prime example of this phenomenon. We provide a non-technical introduction to the physics of Hund metals, a broad…
