Stability of a metallic state in the two-orbital Hubbard model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron correlations in the two-orbital Hubbard model at half-filling are investigated by combining dynamical mean field theory with the exact diagonalization method. We systematically study how the interplay of the intraand inter-band Coulomb interactions, together with the Hund coupling, affects the metal-insulator transition. It is found that if the intraand interband Coulomb interactions are nearly equal, the Fermi-liquid state is stabilized due to orbital fluctuations up to fairly large interactions, while the system is immediately driven to the Mott insulating phase away from this condition. The effects of the isotropic and anisotropic Hund coupling are also addressed.

Theoretically, in order to describe the behavior of a spectrum, a mathematical model whichcould predict the spectrum characteristics is needed. Since in this study a Two-state system has beenused like models which was introduced previously past and could couple with the environment, theformer ideas have been extended in this study. we use the second quantized version for writing thisHamiltonian...
متن کاملQuantum phase transition in the two-band hubbard model.
The interaction between itinerant and Mott localized electronic states in strongly correlated materials is studied within dynamical mean field theory in combination with the numerical renormalization group method. A novel nonmagnetic zero temperature quantum phase transition is found in the bad-metallic orbital-selective Mott phase of the two-band Hubbard model, for values of the Hund's exchang...

Spin-orbital coupling: The study of orbital degeneracy in transition metal oxides is motivated, e.g., by the large variety of spin-charge-orbital ordered phases, the possible control of the orbital degree of freedom at interfaces and heterostructures, the switching from orbital ordered to metallic phases in applied magnetic fields, and the colossal magnetoresistance. The rather complex interpla...

The doped Fullerides can be well described by a Hubbard model, which comprises the partly filled, threefold-degenerate t1u orbital and the onsite Coulomb interaction U . The orbital degeneracy is known to shift the critical ratio Uc/W for the Mott-Hubbard transition towards larger values. This puts the half-filled alkali-doped Fullerides A3C60 on the metallic side of the transition. Prompted by...
متن کاملMott transitions in two-orbital Hubbard systems
We investigate the Mott transitions in two-orbital Hubbard systems. Applying the dynamical mean field theory and the self-energy functional approach, we discuss the stability of itinerant quasi-particle states in each band. It is shown that separate Mott transitions occur at different Coulomb interaction strengths in general. On the other hand, if some special conditions are satisfied for the i...
