We determine the electronic structure and phase stability of paramagnetic V$_2$O$_3$ at the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator phase transition, by employing a combination of an ab initio method for calculating band structures with dynamical…

An intricate interplay between superconductivity, pseudogap and Mott transition, either bandwidth driven or doping driven, occurs in materials. Layered organic conductors and cuprates offer two prime examples. We provide a unified…

Transition metal oxides possess complex free energy surfaces with competing degrees of freedom. Photoexcitation allows shaping of such rich energy landscapes. In epitaxially strained $\mathrm{La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3}$, optical excitation…

Comparing the results of transport measurements of strongly correlated two-dimensional holes in a GaAs heterojunction-insulated-gate field-effect-transistor obtained before and after a brief photo-illumination, the light-induced disorder is…

It is shown that a photoelectron, on being emitted from a conducting solid, suffers a substantial energy change due to ohmic losses. Almost all of this energy loss takes place after the electron leaves the solid. These losses may be…

We combine ultrafast electron diffraction and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy measurements to unravel the connection between structure and electronic transport properties during the photoinduced insulator-metal transitions in vanadium…

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…

The electrodynamics near the metal-to-insulator transitions (MIT) induced, in V3O5 single crystals, by both temperature (T) and pressure (P) has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. The T- and P-dependence of the optical conductivity may…

The low-temperature resistance of a conducting LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface with a 10 nm thick LaAlO3 film decreases by more than 50% after illumination with light of energy higher than the SrTiO3 band-gap. We explain our observations by optical…

In vanadium dioxide, the interplay between coherent lattice transformation and electronic correlation drives an insulator-to-metal transition (IMT). This phase commutation can be triggered by temperature, pressure, doping or deposition of…

We investigated systematic evolutions of structural and electronic properties of LixWO3 films, induced by Li-ion electrochemical reactions. Chronoamperometric Li-ion intercalation could control the amount of Li content up to x ~ 0.5. The…

The strongly correlated material La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) exhibits metal-to-insulator and magnetic transition near room temperature. Although the physical properties of LSMO can be manipulated by strain, chemical doping, temperature, or…

The associations between emergent physical phenomena (e.g., superconductivity) and orbital, charge, and spin degrees of freedom of $3d$ electrons are intriguing in transition metal compounds. Here, we successfully manipulate the…

We present a comprehensive investigation of light-induced phase transitions and strain in two-dimensional NbOX$_{2}$ (X = Cl, Br, I) using first-principles calculations. In particular, we identify a light-induced…

Based on recent experiments, we describe the Mott insulating, but undimerized state of $TiOCl$ using the local-density approximation combined with multi-orbital dynamical mean field theory (LDA+DMFT) for this $3d^{1}$ system.Good agreement…

Pump-probe experiments with femtosecond time resolution allow to disentangle the electronic dynamics from the lattice response and thus provide valuable insights into the non-equilibrium behavior of correlated materials. In Cr-doped…

BaTiO3 is typically a strong n-type material with tuneable optoelectronic properties via doping and controlling the synthesis conditions. It has a wide band gap that can only harness the ultraviolet region of the solar spectrum. Despite…

The device of electric double-layer transistor (EDLT) with ionic liquid has been employed as an effective way to dope carriers over a wide range, which can induce metallic state, magnetic reconstruction and superconducting transition.…

The metal to insulator transition in the charge transfer NiS{2-x}Se{x} compound has been investigated through infrared reflectivity. Measurements performed by applying pressure to pure NiS2 (lattice contraction) and by Se-alloying (lattice…

Photo-doped Mott insulators can exhibit novel photocarrier transport and relaxation dynamics and non-equilibrium phases. However, time-resolved real-space imaging of these processes are still lacking. Here, we use scanning ultrafast…
