متن کاملExotic phases and quantum phase transitions: model systems and experiments
The band theory of electrons predicts that any crystal with an odd number of electrons per unit cell must be a metal. However, strong electron-electron interactions can invalidate this conclusion, and such crystals can also be insulators, known as Mott insulators. I will use this term here more broadly: often the Mott insulator has a secondary instability to spin or charge ordering which increa...
متن کاملQuantum spin liquids and the metal-insulator transition in doped semiconductors.
We describe a new possible route to the metal-insulator transition in doped semiconductors such as Si:P or Si:B. We explore the possibility that the loss of metallic transport occurs through Mott localization of electrons into a quantum spin liquid state with diffusive charge neutral "spinon" excitations. Such a quantum spin liquid state can appear as an intermediate phase between the metal and...
متن کاملPhotoinduced states in a Mott insulator.
We investigate the properties of the metallic state obtained by photodoping carriers into a Mott insulator. In a strongly interacting system, these carriers have a long lifetime, so that they can dissipate their kinetic energy to a phonon bath. In the relaxed state, the scattering rate saturates at a nonzero temperature-independent value, and the momentum-resolved spectral function features bro...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transitions in the Falicov-Kimball model with disorder
The ground-state phase diagrams of the Falicov-Kimball model with local disorder are derived within the dynamical mean-field theory and using the geometrically averaged s“typical”d local density of states. Correlated metal, Mott insulator, and Anderson insulator phases are identified. The metal-insulator transitions are found to be continuous. The interaction and disorder compete with each othe...
