Various types of metal-insulator transitions are discussed to find conditions for which an ideal surface of a bulk insulator is metallic. It is argued that for the correlation-driven Mott metal-insulator transition the surface phase diagram…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) is an exceptional test bed for studying strong electron correlations in two dimensions in the presence of disorder. In the present study, it is found that in contrast to previous experiments on…
The goal of this paper is to highlight several issues which are most crucial for the understanding of the ``metal-insulator transition'' in two dimensions. We discuss some common problems in interpreting experimental results on high…
We exhibit an interaction-driven metal-insulator quantum phase transition in a holographic model. Use of a helical lattice enables us to break translation invariance while preserving homogeneity. The metallic phase is characterized by a…
A possibility of a metal-insulator transition in molecular conductors has been studied for systems composed of donor molecules and fully ionized anions with an incommensurate ratio close to 2:1 based on a one-dimensional extended Hubbard…
Among the complex many-body systems, the metal-insulator transition stands out as a cornerstone and a particularly fertile ground for scientific inquiry. The established models including Mott insulator, Anderson localization and Peierls…
Normal states of the attractive Hubbard model, especially in two dimension, are studied in the light of a transition from a Fermi liquid to an insulating or gapped state. A series of variational Monte Carlo calculations with better…
We consider a minimal model to investigate the metal-insulator transition in VO$_2$. We adopt a Hubbard model with two orbital per unit cell, which captures the competition between Mott and singlet-dimer localization. We solve the model…
EuC$_2$ is a ferromagnet with a Curie-temperature of $T_C \simeq 15\,$K. It is semiconducting with the particularity that the resistivity drops by about 5 orders of magnitude on cooling through $T_C$, which is therefore called a…
Phase separation naturally occurs in a variety of magnetic materials and it often has a major impact on both electric and magnetotransport properties. In resistive switching systems, phase separation can be created on demand by inducing…
Colossal electroresistance (CER) in manganites, i.e., a large change in electrical resistance under the influence of either an applied electric field or an applied electric current, has often been described as complimentary to the colossal…
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…
For the immediate vicinity of the metal-insulator transition (MIT), data on the dependence of the resistivity rho on the charge carrier concentration n from an Si MOSFET experiment by Kravchenko et al. and from an AlAs quantum well study by…
Kondo insulators are predicted to undergo an insulator-to-metal transition under applied magnetic field, yet the extremely high fields required to date have prohibited a comprehensive investigation of the nature of this transition. Here we…
We report on a positive colossal magnetoresistance (MR) induced by metallization of FeSb$_{2}$, a nearly magnetic or "Kondo" semiconductor with 3d ions. We discuss contribution of orbital MR and quantum interference to enhanced magnetic…
Layered perovskite ruthenium oxides exhibit a striking series of metal-insulator and magnetic-nonmagnetic phase transitions easily tuned by temperature, pressure, epitaxy, and nonlinear drive. In this work, we combine results from two…
We report a detail theoretical study of the electronic structure and phase stability of transition metal oxides MnO, FeO, CoO, and NiO in their paramagnetic cubic B1 structure by employing dynamical mean-field theory of correlated electrons…
To explain the main features of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in 2D we suggest a simple model taking into account strongly localized states in the band tail of 2D conductivity band with a specific emphasize of a role of…
A major challenge in condensed matter physics is integrating topological phenomena with correlated electron physics to leverage both types of states for next-generation quantum devices. Metal-insulator transitions (MITs) are central to…
The existence of a novel metal-insulator transition in the ferromagnetic state of models for undoped manganites is here discussed using numerical techniques applied to the $e_{\rm g}$-orbital degenerate Hubbard model tightly coupled with…
