Interorbital Coulomb interactions in nonisotropic multiorbital materials cause a single Mott transition. Different subbands show distinct excitation spectra, revealing an analogy between multigap insulators and superconductors.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Materials science
  • Quantum mechanics

Background:

  • Nonisotropic multiorbital materials exhibit complex electronic behaviors.
  • Mott transitions are crucial phenomena in understanding correlated electron systems.
  • Understanding excitation spectra is key to characterizing material phases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of interorbital Coulomb interactions in nonisotropic multiorbital materials.
  • To analyze the nature of the Mott transition in these systems.
  • To explore the relationship between insulating and superconducting behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) was employed to model the electronic structure.
  • Analysis focused on the differences in excitation spectra between metallic and insulating phases.

  • Comparison was made between "multigap" insulating behavior and multigap superconductivity.

    • Main Results:

    • A single Mott transition is predicted to arise from interorbital Coulomb interactions.
    • Narrow and wide subbands display distinct excitation spectra in both metallic and insulating states.
    • A significant analogy between "multigap" insulating states and multigap superconductivity was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Interorbital Coulomb interactions drive a unified Mott transition in these materials.
    • Subband-dependent excitation spectra provide insights into distinct electronic phases.
    • The observed analogy suggests potential links between insulating and superconducting mechanisms in multigap systems.
