We study structurally-triggered metal-insulator transition in CaCu$_3$Fe$_4$O$_{12}$ by means of local density approximation (LDA) +$U$ and LDA+dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The ferrimagnetic insulating phase is essentially the same…
The recent discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped infinite-layer nickelates has triggered a great interest in the synthesis of novel nickelate phases, which have primarily been examined in thin film samples. Here, we report the…
Superconductivity in nickelates apparently takes place in two different Ni oxidation regimes, namely either for infinite-layer-type compounds close to Ni$^{+}$, or for Ruddlesden-Popper materials close to Ni$^{2+}$. The reduced…
The last few decades has seen the rapid growth of interest in the bulk perovskite-type transition metal oxides SrVO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$. The electronic configuration of these perovskites differs by one electron associated to the transition…
The strong structure-property coupling in rare-earth nickelates has spurred the realization of new quantum phases in rapid succession. Recently, topotactic transformations have provided a new platform for the controlled creation of oxygen…
The in-plane magnetoconductance of the strongly interacting two-dimensional electron system in a silicon MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistor) exhibits an unmistakeable kink at a well-defined electron density, $n_k$.…
We show that charge ordering (more precisely, two-sublattice bond disproportionation) in the rare earth nickelate perovskites is intimately related to a negative charge transfer energy. By adding an additional potential on the Ni d states…
The search for oxide materials with physical properties similar to the cuprate high Tc superconductors, but based on alternative transition metals such as nickel, has grown and evolved over time. The recent discovery of superconductivity in…
Pyrochlore oxides with chemical formula of A2B2O7 exhibit a diverse range of electronic properties as a representative family of quantum materials. These properties mostly stem from strong electron correlations at the transition metal B…
We have used high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to study a thin film of NdNiO$_3$, a compound whose unusual spin- and bond-ordered electronic ground state has been of long-standing interest. Below the magnetic…
The rare-earth based pyrochlore molybdates involve orbitally degenerate electrons Hund's coupled to local moments. The large Hund's coupling promotes ferromagnetism, the superexchange between the local moments prefers antiferromagnetism,…
Metal to insulator transitions (MITs) driven by strong electronic correlations are common in condensed matter systems, and are associated with some of the most remarkable collective phenomena in solids, including superconductivity and…
The perovksite rare-earth nickelates, RNiO$_3$ (R=La ... Lu), are a class of materials displaying a rich phase-diagram of metallic and insulating phases associated with charge and magnetic order. Being in the charge transfer regime,…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) in rare-earth nickelates exemplifies the intricate interplay between electronic correlations and lattice dynamics in quantum materials. This work focuses on SmNiO$_3$ as a prototypical system, employing…
We report a temperature-dependent Raman scattering investigation of thin film rare earth nickelates SmNiO3, NdNiO3 and Sm0.60Nd0.40NiO3, which present a metal-to-insulator (MI) transition at TMI and an antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic Neel…
We discuss Mott insulating and metallic phases of a model with $e_g$ orbital degeneracy to understand physics of Mn perovskite compounds. Quantum Monte Carlo and Lanczos diagonalization results are discussed in this model. To reproduce…
We have explored the critical metal-insulator phenomena for pyrochlore-type $R_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, in which electron correlation strength and magnetic configuration are systematically controlled by varying the average rare-earth ionic radius…
The combination of density functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory, using both Hartree and full continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solvers, is used to study the metal-insulator phase diagram of perovskite…
The YNiO$_3$ nickelate is a paradigm d-electron oxide that manifests the intriguing temperature-mediated sequence of three phases transitions from (i) magnetically ordered insulator to (ii) paramagnetic (PM) insulator and then to (iii) PM…
We investigate the metal-insulator Mott transition in a generalized version of the periodic Anderson model, in which a band of itinerant electrons is hybridrized with a narrow and strongly correlated band. Using dynamical mean-field theory,…
