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…

We report electrical transport, skin depth, and magnetocaloric measurements in the tau-series of organic conductors at very high magnetic fields. Above 36 T these materials show a magnetic field induced first order phase transition from a…

We report the observation of a parallel magnetic field induced metal-insulator transition (MIT) in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) for which spin and localization physics most likely play no major role. The high-mobility…

The transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS2 attract growing attention because of the formation of rich density-wave (DW) and superconducting transitions. However, the origin of the incommensurate DW state at the highest temperature (~ 550…

The presence of free spins in granular Al films is directly demonstrated by $\mu$SR measurements. A Mott transition is observed by probing the increase of the spin-flip scattering rate of conduction electrons as the nano-size metallic…

We present {\it ab initio} LDA+DMFT results for the many-particle density of states of $VO_{2}$ on the metallic side of the strongly first-order ($T$-driven) insulator-metal transition. In strong contrast to LDA predictions, there is {\it…

Intercalation of magnetic atoms into the van der Waals gaps of layered transition metal dichalcogenides offers an excellent platform to produce exotic physical properties. Here, we report a detailed study of magnetic and electrical…

Recent theoretical investigations of quantum spin liquids have described phenomenology amenable to experimental observation using scanning tunneling microscopy. This includes characteristic resonances found at the edge of the upper Hubbard…

Mott insulating behavior is induced by strong electron correlation and can lead to exotic states of matter such as unconventional superconductivity and quantum spin liquids. Recent advances in van der Waals material synthesis enable the…

We present different transport measurements up to fields of 29~T in the recently discovered heavy-fermion superconductor UTe$_{2}$ with magnetic field $H$ applied along the easy magnetization a-axis of the body-centered orthorhombic…

In ReS$_2$ a layer-independent direct band-gap of 1.5 eV implies a potential for its use in optoelectronic applications. ReS$_2$ crystallizes in the 1T$^{\prime}$-structure which leads to anisotropic physical properties and whose…

We theoretically study the electronic and the thermal characteristics of Tantalum, Ta, doped Molybdenum disulfide, MoS$_2$, using density functional theory. It has been shown that the MoS$_2$ monolayer is not a good material for…

One of the early triumphs of quantum physics is the explanation why some materials are metallic whereas others are insulating. While a treatment based on single electron states correctly predicts the character of most materials this…

Magnetization, electrical resistivity and specific heat measurements were performed on high-quality single crystalline SmTi$_2$Al$_{20}$ (residual resistivity ratio $\sim$ 40) grown by Al self-flux method. A Kondo-like $\log T$ dependence…

The transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS$_2$ is well known to harbor a rich variety of charge density wave (CDW) distortions which are correlated with underlying lattice atom modulations. The long range CDW phases extend throughout the…

Mott insulators with a half-filled band of electrons on the triangular lattice have been recently studied in a variety of organic compounds. All of these compounds undergo transitions to metallic/superconducting states under moderate…

We present ultra-high-resolution dilatometric studies in magnetic fields on a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor $\kappa$-(D8-BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu[N(CN)$_{2}$]Br, which is located close to the Mott metal-insulator (MI) transition. The…

Magnetic, transport, and specific heat measurements have been performed on layered metallic oxide Na$_{1.5}$Co$_2$O$_4$ as a function of temperature $T$. Below a characteristic temperature $T^*$=30$-$40 K, electrical resistivity shows a…

The nature of the Mott transition in the absence of any symmetry braking remains a matter of debate. We study the correlation-driven insulator-to-metal transition in the prototypical 3D Mott system GaTa4Se8, as a function of temperature and…

We report the emergence of a two-dimensional (2D) polar metal phase in van der Waals compound FePSe$_3$ under moderate pressures. This layered material is a Mott insulator with antiferromagnetic order under ambient conditions. We show that…
