We study the transitions from band insulator to metal to Mott insulator in the ionic Hubbard model on a two dimensional square lattice using determinant Quantum Monte Carlo. Evaluation of the temperature dependence of the conductivity…
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…
A heterostructure of a semi-infinite metal and a Mott insulator is considered. It is supposed that both materials have an identical lattice spacing and hopping integrals and differ in the Hubbard repulsion which is negligible in the metal…
The doping-induced metal-insulator transition in two-chain systems of correlated fermions is studied using a solvable limit of the t-J model and the fact that various strong- and weak-coupling limits of the two-chain model are in the same…
Transition-metal oxides have been a central subject of condensed matter physics for decades. In addition to novel electronic states driven by the influence of strong correlation, relativistic spin-orbit coupling effects have recently…
We study the interplay between spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Coulomb repulsion in a Hubbard model on a decorated honeycomb lattice which leads to a plethora of phases. While a quantum spin hall insulator is stable at weak Coulomb repulsion…
Materials with strong electronic Coulomb correlations play an increasing role in modern materials applications. "Thermochromic" systems, which exhibit thermally induced changes in their optical response, provide a particularly interesting…
We predict theoretically that, when a normal metallic thin film (without bulk spin-orbit coupling, such as Cu or Al) is sandwiched by two insulators, two prominent effects arise due to the interfacial spin-orbit coupling: a giant spin-Hall…
The competition between antiferromagnetism and hole motion in two-dimensional Mott insulators lies at the heart of a doping-dependent transition from an anomalous metal to a conventional Fermi liquid. Condensed matter experiments suggest…
We revisit the intriguing magnetic behavior of the paradigmatic itinerant frustrated magnet $\rm{Sr}\rm{Co}_2\rm{As}_2$, which shows strong and competing magnetic fluctuations yet does not develop long-range magnetic order. By calculating…
Mott insulators can be portrayed as "unsuccessful metals": systems in which a strong Coulomb repulsion prevents charge conduction notwithstanding the metal-like density of conduction electrons. The possibility to unlock such large density…
In the present paper we propose a doubly orbitally degenerate narrow-band model with correlated hopping. The peculiarity of the model is taking into account the matrix element of electron-electron interaction which describes intersite…
More than half a century after first being proposed by Sir Nevill Mott, the deceptively simple question of whether the interaction-driven electronic metal-insulator transition may be continuous remains enigmatic. Recent experiments on…
A Metal-Disordered Mott insulator-Metal heterostructure is studied at half-fiiling using unrestricted Hartree Fock method. The corresponding clean system has been shown to be an insulator for any finite on site correlation. Interestingly we…
Itinerant spin polaron and metallic ferromagnetism are theoretically predicted in the Mott insulator in semiconductor moir\'e superlattices doped below and above half filling of the narrow moir\'e band, respectively. The existence of spin…
We investigate the evolution of the Mott insulators in the triangular lattice Hubbard Model, as a function of hole doping $\delta$ in both the strong and intermediate coupling limits. Using the advanced density matrix renormalization group…
The Kitaev interaction in a honeycomb lattice with higher-spin $S$ has been one of the central attractions, as it may offer quantum spin liquids. A microscopic theory showed that when the Hund's coupling at the transition metal generates…
We show that in transition metal compounds containing structural metal dimers there may exist in the presence of different orbitals a special state with partial formation of singlets by electrons on one orbital, while others are effectively…
Transition metal compounds with the $(t_{2g})^4$ electronic configuration are expected to be nonmagnetic atomic singlets both in the weakly interacting regime due to spin-orbit coupling, as well as in the Coulomb dominated regime with…
Two-dimensional materials can be strongly influenced by their surroundings. A dielectric environment screens and reduces the Coulomb interaction between electrons in the two-dimensional material. Since in Mott materials the Coulomb…
