Computation of the correlated metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide from first principles.
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a paradigmatic example of a strongly correlated system that undergoes a metal-insulator transition at a structural phase transition. To date, this transition has necessitated significant post hoc adjustments to theory in order to be described properly. Here we report standard state-of-the-art first principles quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of the structural dep...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide nanobeams: probing sub- domain properties of strongly correlated materials
Many strongly correlated electronic materials, including high-temperature superconductors, colossal magnetoresistance and metal-insulator-transition (MIT) materials, are inhomogeneous on a microscopic scale as a result of domain structure or compositional variations. An important potential advantage of nanoscale samples is that they exhibit the homogeneous properties, which can differ greatly f...
متن کاملAtomically resolved spectroscopic study of Sr2IrO4: Experiment and theory
Particularly in Sr2IrO4, the interplay between spin-orbit coupling, bandwidth and on-site Coulomb repulsion stabilizes a J(eff) = 1/2 spin-orbital entangled insulating state at low temperatures. Whether this insulating phase is Mott- or Slater-type, has been under intense debate. We address this issue via spatially resolved imaging and spectroscopic studies of the Sr2IrO4 surface using scanning...
متن کاملThouless energy as a unifying concept for Josephson junctions tuned through the Mott metal-insulator transition
The Thouless energy was introduced in the 1970s as a semiclassical energy for electrons diffusing through a finite-sized conductor. It turns out to be an important quantum-mechanical energy scale for many systems ranging from disordered metals to quantum chaos to quantum chromodynamics. In particular, it has been quite successful in describing the properties of Josephson junctions when the barr...
متن کاملA Theoretical and Experimental Investigation for a New Reduced & Reliable Life Time Estimation Method of Insulating Materials
Abstract: The big share of electrical breakdown in electrical devices failure among other factors is caused by multitasking such as electrical insulation, mechanical support, energy dissipation, Energy storage, etc. which brings many attentions to lifetime estimation of said insulation material. Up to now, there was no-general theory had been suggested for lifetime estimation of mentioned insul...
