Understanding the metal-insulator transition in disordered many-fermion systems, both with and without interactions, is one of the most challenging and consequential problems in condensed matter physics. In this paper we address this issue…
We present a theory of the metal-insulator transition in a disordered two-dimensional electron gas. A quantum critical point, separating the metallic phase which is stabilized by electronic interactions, from the insulating phase where…
We study the nonequilibrium switching phenomenon associated with the metal-insulator transition under electric field E in correlated insulator by a gauge-covariant Keldysh formalism. Due to the feedback effect of the resistive current I,…
The possible emergence of a spin liquid phase in the half-filled Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice; a simple model of graphene, is studied using the variational cluster approximation. We found that the critical interaction strength of…
Ruthenium(II) polypyridine compounds often have a relatively long lived triplet metalligand charge transfer (3MLCT) state, making these complexes useful as chromophores for photoactivated electron transfer in photomolecular devices (PMDs).…
In complex oxide materials, changes in electronic properties are often associated with changes in crystal structure, raising the question of the relative roles of the electronic and lattice effects in driving the metal-insulator transition.…
We studied the changes in the electronic structure of V2O3 using a cluster model. The calculations included fluctuations from the coherent band in the metallic phase, and non-local Mott-Hubbard fluctuations in the insulating phase. The…
Many-body perturbation theory in the GW approach is applied to lanthanide oxides, using the local-density approximation plus a Hubbard U correction (LDA+U) as the starting point. Good agreement between the G0W0 density of states and…
The spectacular metal-to-insulator transition of V2O3 can be progressively suppressed in thin film samples. Evidence for phase separation was observed using microbridges as a mesoscopic probe of transport properties where the same film…
The molecular Hubbard Hamiltonian (MHH) naturally arises for ultracold ground state polar alkali dimer molecules in optical lattices. We show that, unlike ultracold atoms, different molecules display different many-body phases due to…
The compound LiAl_yTi_(2-y)O_4 undergoes a metal-to-insulator transition for y_c ~0 .33. This system, in the absence of strong electronic correlations, is a prototypical example of quantum site percolation. However, it is known that the…
We analyze the pressure-induced metal-insulator transition in a two-dimensional vertical stack of $H_2$ molecules in x-y plane, and show that it represents a striking example of the Mott-Hubbard-type transition. Our combined exact…
The high critical temperature phase of lanthanum hydrides deserves special attention because this phase displays the highest observed critical temperature. We focus on the evaluation of the critical temperature, isotope coefficient, and…
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…
The temperature dependence of the number density of elementary excitations in a semiconductor with account for the temperature dependence of the band gap is obtained. A local lattice distortion within a crystalline domain is discussed.
Lithium halides with the general formula Li$_x$M$_y$X$_6$, where M indicates transition metal ions and X halide anions are very actively studied as solid-state electrolytes, because of relatively low cost, high stability and Li…
We calculate the properties of the 4$d$ ferromagnet SrRuO$_3$ in bulk and thin film form with the aim of understanding the experimentally observed metal to insulator transition at reduced thickness. Although the spatial extent of the 4$d$…
We report on a metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is observed in an electron system at the SmTiO3/SrTiO3 interface. This MIT is characterized by an abrupt transition at a critical temperature, below which the resistance changes by more…
Hydrogen in metals has attracted much attention for a long time from both basic scientific and technological points of view. Its electronic state has been investigated in terms of a proton embedded in the electron gas mostly by the local…
We show that the inclusion of nonlocal correlation effects in a variational wave function for the ground state of a topological Anderson lattice Hamiltonian is capable of describing both topologically trivial insulating phases and…
