Metallic surface of a Mott insulator - Mott insulating surface of a metal
The dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is employed to study the correlation-driven metal-insulator transition in the semi-infinite Hubbard model at half-filling and zero temperature. We consider the low-index surfaces of the three-dimensional simple-cubic lattice and systematically vary the model parameters at the very surface , the intra-and inter-layer surface hopping and the surface Coulomb ...
متن کاملCan correlations drive a band insulator metallic?
We analyze the effects of the on-site Coulomb repulsion U on a band insulator using dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). We find the surprising result that the gap is suppressed to zero at a critical Uc1 and remains zero within a metallic phase. At a larger Uc2 there is a second transition from the metal to a Mott insulator, in which the gap increases with increasing U. These results are qualita...
متن کاملSurface States, Surface Metal-Insulator, and Surface Insulator-Metal Transitions ∗
I present an informal discussion of various cases where two-dimensional surface metal-insulator structural and charge-density-wave instabilities driven by partly filled surface states have been advocated. These include reconstructions of clean semiconductor surfaces and of W(100) and Mo(100), as well as anomalies on the hydrogen-covered surfaces H/W(110) and H/Mo(110), and possibly alkali-cover...

متن کاملSurface Kondo effect and non-trivial metallic state of the Kondo insulator YbB12
A synergistic effect between strong electron correlation and spin-orbit interaction has been theoretically predicted to realize new topological states of quantum matter on Kondo insulators (KIs), so-called topological Kondo insulators (TKIs). One TKI candidate has been experimentally observed on the KI SmB6(001), and the origin of the surface states (SS) and the topological order of SmB6 has be...
