The metal-insulator transition in VO2 was investigated using the three-band Hubbard model, in which the degeneracy of the 3d orbitals, the on-site Coulomb and exchange interactions, and the effects of lattice distortion were considered. A…
Insulator to metal (IMT) transition (T$_t$ $\sim$ 341 K) in the VO2 accompanies transition from an infrared (IR) transparent to IR opaque phase. Tailoring of the IMT and associated IR switching behavior can offer potential thermochromic…
We use a combination of optical spectra, first principles calculations, and energy dependent magneto-optical measurements to elucidate the electronic structure and to study the phase diagram of Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$. We find a remarkable…
Employing Nernst-Einstein decomposition $\sigma=e^2\chi_c D$ of the conductivity $\sigma$ onto charge susceptibility (compressibility) $\chi_c$ and diffusion constant $D$, we argue that the bad-metallic behavior of $\sigma$ in the regime of…
We consider an interaction-driven scenario for the two-dimensional metal-insulator transition in zero magnetic field (2D-MIT), based on melting the Wigner crystal through vacancy-interstitial pair formation. We show that the transition from…
By analyzing the temperature ($T$) and density ($n$) dependence of the measured conductivity ($\sigma$) of 2D electrons in the low density ($\sim10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$) and temperature (0.02 - 10 K) regime of high-mobility (1.0 and 1.5 $\times…
We present multi-scale dynamical simulations of voltage-induced insulator-to-metal transition in the double exchange model, a canonical example of itinerant magnet and correlated electron systems. By combining nonequilibrium Green's…
We have analyzed spectral weight changes in the conduction and the valence band across insulator to metal transition (IMT) in the VO2 thin film using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Through…
We theoretically study pump-photon-energy-dependent pathways of a photoinduced dimer-Mott-insulator-to-metal transition, on the basis of numerical solutions to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for the exact many-body wave function…
The electronic structure of the vanadium dioxide VO_2 in the tetragonal R and two monocinic M_1 and M_2 structural modifications was calculated in frames of the local-density functional (LDA) approach and the LSDA + U formalism of…
Amorphous vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) were crystallized with an ex situ anneal at 660-670 ${\deg}$C for 1-2 hours under a low oxygen pressure (10$^{-4}$ to 10$^{-5}$ Torr). Under these…
We present a general framework to describe the simultaneous para-to-ferromagnetic and semiconductor-to-metal transition in electron-doped EuO. The theory correctly describes detailed experimental features of the conductivity and of the…
We report infrared studies of the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in GaAs doped with either magnetic (Mn) or non-magnetic acceptors (Be). We observe a resonance with a natural assignment to impurity states in the insulating regime of…
The temperature dependence of the local structure of V_2O_3 in the vicinity of the metal to insulator transition (MIT) has been investigated using hard X-ray absorption spectroscopy. It is shown that the vanadium pair distance along the…
In two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered materials the application of pressure often induces a giant lattice collapse, which can subsequently drive an associated Mott transition. Here, we investigate room-temperature…

We study a bandwidth controlled Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) between a Fermi liquid metal and a quantum spin-liquid insulator at half-filling in three dimensions (3D). Using a slave rotor approach, and incorporating gauge field…
Recent experimental advances in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) metals have unveiled a range of interesting phenomena including the coexistence of charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity down to the…
The magnetic field-induced superconductor-insulator-metal transition (SIMT) in partially deuterated $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br, which is just on the Mott boundary, has been observed using the infrared magneto-optical imaging…
To fully deploy the potential of semiconductor nanocrystal films as low-cost electronic materials, a better understanding of the amount of dopants required to make their conductivity metallic is needed. In bulk semiconductors, the critical…
