In order to explore the driving mechanism of the concomitant metal-insulator and structural transitions in quasi-one-dimensional hollandite K$_{2}$Cr$_{8}$O$_{16}$, electronic structures and phonon properties are investigated by employing…
Appropriate consideration of the electron correlation is essential to reproduce the intriguing metal-insulator transition accompanying the Peierls-type structural transition in VO$_2$. In the density functional theory-based approach, this…
In femtosecond pump-probe measurements, the appearance of coherent phonon oscillations at 4.5 THz and 6.0 THz indicating the rutile metal phase of VO_2 does not occur simultaneously with the first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) near…
We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of rutile (metallic) and M$_1$ and M$_2$ monoclinic (insulating) phases of VO$_2$ employing a fully self-consistent combination of density functional theory and embedded…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) in paramagnetic VO2 is studied within LDA+DMFT(IPT), which merges the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). With a fixed value of the Coulomb U=5.0eV, we show how the…
The electronic structure of VO$_2$ is studied in the frameworks of local density approximation (LDA) and LDA+$U$ to give a quantitative description of the metal-insulator (MI) transition in this system. It is found that, both structural…
To investigate the pressure-induced structural transitions of chromium dioxide (CrO$_{2}$), phonon dispersions and total energy band structures are calculated as a function of pressure. The first structural transition has been confirmed at…
The quasi-particle spectra in the metallic rutile and insulating monoclinic phases of VO$_2$ are shown to be dominated by local Coulomb interactions. In the rutile phase the small orbital polarization among V 3d t_2g states leads to weak…
VO2 is renowned for its electric transition from an insulating monoclinic (M1) phase characterized by V-V dimerized structures, to a metallic rutile (R) phase above 340 Kelvin. This transition is accompanied by a magnetic change: the M1…
We investigate phonon lifetimes in VO2 single crystals. We do so in the metallic state above the metal-insulator transition (MIT), where strong structural fluctuations are known to take place. By combining inelastic X-ray scattering and…
The results of first principles electronic structure calculations for the metallic rutile and the insulating monoclinic M1 phase of vanadium dioxide are presented. In addition, the insulating M2 phase is investigated for the first time. The…
A theory of the metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide from the high-temperature rutile to the low- temperature monoclinic phase is proposed on the basis of cluster dynamical mean field theory, in conjunction with the density…
Electrons in correlated insulators are prevented from conducting by Coulomb repulsion between them. When an insulator-to-metal transition is induced in a correlated insulator by doping or heating, the resulting conducting state can be…
VO2 features concomitant structural and metal-insulator transitions. This poses a challenge for understanding the underlying mechanism: is the transition triggered by a structural or by an electronic instability? The two scenarios are…
We examine the interplay between electron correlations and phonons in an Anderson-Holstein impurity model with an Einstein phonon. When the phonons are slow compared to charge fluctuations (frequency $\omega_0 \ll U/2$, the onsite Coulomb…
An abrupt Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) rather than the continuous Hubbard MIT near a critical on-site Coulomb energy U/U_c=1 is observed for the first time in VO_2, a strongly correlated material, by inducing holes of about 0.018%…
We investigate the effect of tuning the phonon energy on the correlation effects in models of electron-phonon interactions using DMFT. In the regime where itinerant electrons, instantaneous electron-phonon driven correlations and static…
We apply ultrafast spectroscopy to establish a time-domain hierarchy between structural and electronic effects in a strongly-correlated electron system. We discuss the case of the model system VO2, a prototypical non-magnetic compound that…
Vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) undergoes a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) upon cooling near room temperature, concomitant with structural change from rutile to monoclinic. Accurate characterization of lattice vibrations is vital…
Rutile ($R$) phase VO$_2$ is a quintessential example of a strongly correlated bad-metal, which undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) concomitant with a structural transition to a V-V dimerized monoclinic phase below T$_{MIT} \sim…
