Two-orbital Systems with Crystal Field Splitting and Interorbital Hopping
The nondegenerate two-orbital Hubbard model is studied within the dynamic
mean-field theory to reveal the influence of two important factors, i.e.
crystal field splitting and interorbital hopping, on orbital selective Mott
transition (OSMT) and realistic compound CaSrRuO. A
distinctive feature of the optical conductivity of the two nondegenerate bands
is found in OSMT phase, where the metallic character of the wide band is
indicated by a nonzero Drude peak, while the insulating narrow band has its
Drude peak drop to zero in the mean time. We also find that the OSMT regime
expands profoundly with the increase of interorbital hopping integrals. On the
contrary, it is shown that large and negative level splitting of the two
orbitals diminishes the OSMT regime completely. Applying the present findings
to compound CaSrRuO, we demonstrate that in the doping
region from to 2.0, the negative level splitting is unfavorable to the
OSMT phase.Comment: 7 pages with 5 figure
Effects of interorbital hopping on orbital fluctuations and metal-insulator transitions: Extended linearized dynamical mean-field theory
We study the effects of interorbital hopping on orbital fluctuations and
Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the two-orbital Hubbard model
within the extended linearized dynamical mean-field theory. By mapping the
model onto an effective model with different bandwidths through the canonical
transformation, we find that at half-filling, the increases of the interorbital
Coulomb interaction and the Hund's coupling drive the MIT, and
the critical for MIT increases with the lift of the inter-orbital
hopping integral . Meanwhile at quarter filling and in the strong
correlation regime, the system without exhibits MIT with the
decreasing of , and favors the orbital liquid ground state. However, the
system transits from metal to insulator with the increasing of t,
accompanied with the rising of the orbital order parameter. These results show
the important role of the interorbital hopping in the orbital fluctuation and
orbital ordering.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
