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…
A half-filled-band Hubbard model on an anisotropic triangular lattice (t in two bond directions and t' in the other) is studied using an optimization variational Monte Carlo method, to consider the Mott transition and superconductivity…
The intertwined charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom could endow 5d compounds with exotic properties. Current interest is focused on electromagnetic interactions in these materials, whereas the important role of lattice…
It has been reported that upon doping a Mott insulator, there can be a crossover to a pseudogaped metallic phase followed by a first-order transition to another thermodynamically stable metallic phase. We call this first-order metal-metal…
The evolution of a Landau Fermi liquid into a nonmagnetic Mott insulator with increasing electronic interactions is one of the most puzzling quantum phase transitions in physics. The vicinity of the transition is believed to host exotic…
While the phase diagrams of the one- and multi-orbital Hubbard model have been well studied, the physics of real Mott insulators is often much richer, material dependent, and poorly understood. In the prototype Mott insulator…
The checkerboard lattice, with alternating 'crossed' plaquettes, serves as the two dimensional analog of the pyrochlore lattice. The corner sharing plaquette structure leads to a hugely degenerate ground state, and no magnetic order, for…
Recent experiments on ultracold atomic gases in an optical lattice potential have produced a Mott insulating state of Rb atoms. This state is stable to a small applied potential gradient (an `electric' field), but a resonant response was…
Mott insulator plays a central role in strongly correlated physics, where the repulsive Coulomb interaction dominates over the electron kinetic energy and leads to insulating states with one electron occupying each unit cell. Doped Mott…
We use quantum Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization calculations to study the Mott-insulator to superconductor quantum phase transition in a two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model with attractive interactions in the presence of a…
Magnetic phase diagram and Mott transition are studied in the Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice at zero temperature and half-filling by the variational cluster approximation, taking into account N\'eel, 120$^\circ$ N\'eel,…
Systematic pressure- and temperature-dependent infrared studies on the two-dimensional organic quantum spin-liquid $\beta^{\prime}$-EtMe$_3$Sb[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ disclose the electronic and lattice evolution across the Mott insulator-metal…
We report an investigation on the properties of 0.33 ML of Sn on Ge(111) at temperatures down to 5 K. Low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy show that the (3x3) phase formed at 200 K, reverts to a new…
A three band model containing the essential physics of transition metal oxides with partially filled t_2g shells is solved in the single-site dynamical mean field approximation, using the full rotationally invariant Slater-Kanamori…
Since the beginnings of the electronic age, a quest for ever faster and smaller switches has been initiated, since this element is ubiquitous and foundational in any electronic circuit to regulate the flow of current. Mott insulators are…
The Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice undergoes a quantum phase transition from a semimetallic to a Mott insulating phase and from a disordered to an anti-ferromagnetically phase. We show that these transitions occur simultaneously and…
We study the phase diagram of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice near a Feshbach resonance. Depending on the boson density, the strength of the optical lattice potential and the detuning from resonance, the ground state can be a Mott…
We investigate magnetic properties of strongly interacting four component spin-3/2 ultracold fermionic atoms in the Mott insulator limit with one particle per site in an optical lattice with honeycomb symmetry. In this limit, atomic…
The physics of doped Mott insulators is at the heart of some of the most exotic physical phenomena in materials research including insulator-metal transitions, colossal magneto-resistance, and high-temperature superconductivity in layered…
We investigate spin-order of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice by means of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. A rich phase diagram with anisotropic magnetic order is found, both for the ground state and at finite temperatures. Within the…
