We clarify the origin of the strikingly different spectroscopic properties of the chemically similar compounds NaOsO_{3} and LiOsO_{3}. Our first-principle, many-body analysis demonstrates that the highly sensitive physics of these two materials is controlled by their proximity to an adjacent Hund's-Mott insulating phase. Although 5d oxides are mildly correlated, we show that the cooperative action of intraorbital repulsion and Hund's exchange becomes the dominant physical mechanism in these…

Dynamical vertex approximation for many-electron systems with spontaneously broken SU(2) symmetry

We generalize the formalism of the dynamical vertex approximation (D$\Gamma$A) -- a diagrammatic extension of the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT)-- to treat magnetically ordered phases. To this…

Switching between Mott-Hubbard and Hund Physics in Moiré Quantum Simulators.

Mott-Hubbard and Hund electron correlations have been realized thus far in separate classes of materials. Here, we show that a single moiré homobilayer encompasses both kinds of physics in a…

Long-term memory magnetic correlations in the Hubbard model: A dynamical mean-field theory analysis

We investigate the onset of a not-decaying asymptotic behavior of temporal magnetic correlations in the Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. This long-term memory feature of dynamical spin…

BaOsO3 : A Hund's metal in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling

We investigate the 5d transition metal oxide BaOsO$_3$ within a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), using a matrix-product-state impurity solver.…

Evolution of the Magnetic Excitations in NaOsO_{3} through its Metal-Insulator Transition.

High-resolution measurements show that the well-defined, low-energy magnons in the insulating state weaken and dampen upon approaching the metallic state, providing unprecedented insight into the nature of the MIT in NaOsO_{3}.

Charge Disproportionation, Mixed Valence, and Janus Effect in Multiorbital Systems: A Tale of Two Insulators.

The results provide a characterization of the Hund's metal state and connect its presence with charge disproportionation, which has indeed been observed in chromates and proposed to play a role in iron-based superconductors.

Strong Correlations from Hund’s Coupling

Strong electronic correlations are often associated with the proximity of a Mott-insulating state. In recent years however, it has become increasingly clear that the Hund’s rule coupling…

Janus-faced influence of Hund's rule coupling in strongly correlated materials.

A concise classification of 3d and 4d transition-metal oxides is proposed within which the ubiquitous occurrence of strong correlations in Ru- and Cr-based oxides, as well as the recently measured high Néel temperatures in Tc-based perovskites are naturally explained.

Infrared evidence of a Slater metal-insulator transition in NaOsO3

All the experimental evidence demonstrates that NaOsO3 is the first known 3D Slater insulator, and the comparison between the experimental Drude spectral weight and the one calculated through Local Density Approximation shows that electronic correlations play a limited role in the MIT.

Electronic correlation assisted ferroelectric metallic state in LiOsO$_3$

LiOsO$_3$ has been recently identified as the first unambiguous "ferroelectric metal", experimentally realizing a prediction from 1965 by Anderson and Blount. In this work, we investigate the…

Magnetically driven metal-insulator transition in NaOsO3.

Using neutron and x-ray scattering it is shown that the MIT in NaOsO(3) is coincident with the onset of long-range commensurate three dimensional magnetic order, the first definitive demonstration of the long predicted Slater MIT.

A ferroelectric-like structural transition in a metal.

A centrosymetric to non-centrosymmetric (R3c) transition in metallic LiOsO3 that is structurally equivalent to the ferroelectric transition of LiNbO3 is reported, which establishes a new class of materials whose properties may differ from those of normal metals.

Coherence–incoherence crossover in the normal state of iron oxypnictides and importance of Hund's rule coupling

A new class of high-temperature superconductors based on iron and arsenic was recently discovered (Kamihara et al 2008 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130 3296), with the superconducting transition temperature as…

Crossover from itinerant to localized magnetic excitations through the metal-insulator transition inNaOsO3

NaOsO 3 undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at 410 K, concomitant with the onset of antiferromagnetic order. The excitation spectra have been investigated through the MIT by resonant…
