Metal-insulator transition el-el correlations not important: band insulator: the lowest conduction band is fullthe lowest conduction band is full gap due to the periodic potential – few eVgap due to the periodic potential – few eV even number electronseven number electrons metal Conduction band partially occupiedConduction band partially occupied el-el correlations important: Mott insulator despite the odd number of electrons Cannot be explained within a single- electron picture (many body effect) zt F*F*F*F* Zhang, Rozenberg and Kotliar 1992 U
Doping Mott insulator – DMFT perspective Metallic system always Fermi liquid Im Fermi surface unchanged (volume and shape) Narrow quasiparticle peak of width Z F at the Fermi level Effective mass (m*/m 1/Z) diverges at the transition High-temperature (T>> Z F ) almost free spin Georges, Kotliar, Krauth and Rozenberg 1996 LHB UHB quasip. peak
Nonlocal interaction in DMFT? Local quantum fluctuations (between states ) completely taken into account within DMFT Nonlocal quantum fluctuations (like RKKY) are mostly lost in DMFT (entropy of U= param. Mott insulator is ln2 and is T independent 2 N deg. states) (entropy of U= param. Mott insulator is ln2 and is T independent 2 N deg. states) Why? Metzner Vollhardt 89 mean-field description of the exchange term is exact within DMFT J disappears completely in the paramagnetic phase !
What is changed by including intersite exchange J? For simplicity we will take infinite U limit and get t-J model: Hubbard model + intersite exchange
