Superconductor to Mott insulator transition in YBa2Cu3O7/LaCaMnO3 heterostructures
The superconductor-to-insulator transition (SIT) induced by means such as external magnetic fields, disorder or spatial confinement is a vivid illustration of a quantum phase transition dramatically affecting the superconducting order parameter. In pursuit of a new realization of the SIT by interfacial charge transfer, we developed extremely thin superlattices composed of high Tc superconductor...
متن کاملWeyl Mott Insulator
Relativistic Weyl fermion (WF) often appears in the band structure of three dimensional magnetic materials and acts as a source or sink of the Berry curvature, i.e., the (anti-)monopole. It has been believed that the WFs are stable due to their topological indices except when two Weyl fermions of opposite chiralities annihilate pairwise. Here, we theoretically show for a model including the ele...
متن کاملDoped Mott insulator: Results from mean-field theory.
The interaction-driven metal-insulator transition has fascinated theorists and experimentalists for many years. This transition is named after Sir Nevill Mott, who laid down the foundations of our physical understanding of this phenomenon. A periodic system having an odd number of electrons per unit cell must be an insulator ~Mott insulator! when the electron-electron correlations are much larg...
متن کاملInhomogeneity in doped Mott insulator
We introduce the concept that there are two generic classes of Mott insu-lators in nature. They are distinguished by their responses to weak doping. Doped charges form cluster (i.e. distribute inhomogeneously) in type I Mott insulators while distribute homogeneously in type II Mott insulators. We present our opinion on the role inhomogeneity plays in the cuprates.
متن کاملQuantum quench of an atomic Mott insulator.
We study quenches across the Bose-Hubbard Mott-insulator-to-superfluid quantum phase transition by using an ultracold atomic gas trapped in an optical lattice. Quenching from the Mott insulator to the superfluid phase is accomplished by continuously tuning the ratio of Hubbard tunneling to interaction energy. Excitations of the condensate formed after the quench are measured by using time-of-fl...
