Fragile Mott insulators.
We prove that there exists a class of crystalline insulators, which we call "fragile Mott insulators," which are not adiabatically connected to any sort of band insulator provided time-reversal and certain point-group symmetries are respected, but which are otherwise unspectacular in that they exhibit no topological order nor any form of fractionalized quasiparticles. Different fragile Mott ins...
متن کاملTopological Mott insulators.
We consider extended Hubbard models with repulsive interactions on a honeycomb lattice, and the transitions from the semimetal to Mott insulating phases at half-filling. Because of the frustrated nature of the second-neighbor interactions, topological Mott phases displaying the quantum Hall and the quantum spin Hall effects are found for spinless and spin fermion models, respectively. The mean-...
متن کاملImpurity states in Mott insulators
2014 The effect of a point scattering potential on the properties of a nearly half filled narrow energy-band is studied in the limit of strong intra-atomic Coulomb repulsions. The potential needed to localize a state depends on the spin configuration. A localized hole is found to stabilize a ferromagnetic polarization within a few atomic distances from the impurity. The strength of this couplin...
متن کاملVariational description of Mott insulators.
The Gutzwiller wave function for a strongly correlated model can, if supplemented with a long-range Jastrow factor, provide a proper variational description of Mott insulators, so far unavailable. We demonstrate this concept in the prototypical one-dimensional t-t(') Hubbard model, where at half-filling we reproduce all known phases, namely, the ordinary Mott undimerized insulator with power-la...
متن کاملAppearance of "fragile" Fermi liquids in finite-width Mott insulators sandwiched between metallic leads.
Using inhomogeneous dynamical mean-field theory, we show that the normal-metal proximity effect could force any finite number of Mott-insulating "barrier" planes sandwiched between semi-infinite metallic leads to become "fragile" Fermi liquids. They are fully Fermi-liquid-like at T=0, leading to a restoration of lattice periodicity at zero frequency, with a well-defined Fermi surface, and perfe...
