We calculate and resolve with unprecedented detail the local density of states (DOS) and momentum-dependent spectral functions at zero temperature of one of the key models for strongly correlated electron materials, the degenerate two-orbital Kanamori-Hubbard model, by means of a highly optimized Dynamical Mean Field Theory which uses the Density Matrix Renormalization Group as the impurity solver. When the system is hole doped, and in the presence of a finite interorbital Coulomb interaction we find the emergence of a novel holon-doublon in-gap subband which is split by the Hund's coupling. We also observe new interesting features in the DOS like the splitting of the lower Hubbard band into a coherent narrowly dispersing peak around the Fermi energy, and another subband which evolves with the chemical potential. We characterize the main transitions giving rise to each subband by calculating the response functions of specific projected operators and comparing with the energies in the atomic limit, obtaining excellent agreement. The detailed results for the spectral functions found in this work pave the way to study with great precision the microscopic quantum behavior in correlated materials.
While excitonic instabilities in multiorbital systems recently have come under scrutiny in a variety of transition-metal compounds, understanding emergence of these instabilities from strong electronic interactions has remained a challenge. Here, we present a sign-problem-free determinant quantum Monte Carlo study of excitonic density orders in a half-filled two-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model with broken orbital degeneracy, which accounts for the role of Hund's coupling in transition-metal compounds. For strong inverted (negative) Hund's exchange, we find numerical evidence for the emergence o…
The two-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model is studied using the strong coupling diagram technique. This approach allows one to take into account the interactions of electrons with spin, charge, and orbital fluctuations of all ranges. It was found that, at low temperatures, the model has four regions of the negative electron compressibility, which can lead to charge inhomogeneities with the assistance of phonons. For half-filling, the phase diagram of the model contains regions of the Mott and Slater insulators, bad-metal, and states with spin-polaron peaks. These sharp peaks at the Fermi level are…
We study the electronic spectral properties at zero temperature of the one-dimensional (1D) version of the degenerate two-orbital Kanamori Hubbard model (KHM), one of the well established frameworks to study transition metal compounds, using state-of-the-art numerical techniques based on the Density Matrix Renormalization Group. While the system is Mott insulating for the half-filled case, as expected for an interacting 1D system, we find interesting and rich structures in the single-particle density of states (DOS) for the hole-doped system. In particular, we find the existence of in-gap stat…
We present the multi-band dual triply irreducible local expansion (D-TRILEX) approach to interacting electronic systems and discuss its numerical implementation. This method is designed for a self-consistent description of multi-orbital systems that can also have several atoms in the unit cell. The current implementation of the D-TRILEX approach is able to account for the frequency- and channel-dependent long-ranged electronic interactions. We show that our method is accurate when applied to small multi-band systems such as the Hubbard-Kanamori dimer. Calculations for the extended Hubbard, the…

We study the interplay of strong electron correlations and intra-triangle spin exchange at two-thirds filling of the single-orbital Hubbard model on the decorated honeycomb lattice using rotationally invariant slave bosons. We find that the spin exchange tunes between a spin-$1$ Mott insulator, a metal, and a spin-$0$ Mott insulator when the exchange is antiferromagnetic. The Mott insulators occur from effective intra-triangle multi-orbital interactions and are adiabatically connected to the ground state of an isolated triangle. An antiferromagnetic spin exchange, as determined by the Goodenou…
By the example of the Hubbard model we analytically and numerically examine the formating and coexisting of localized electron--electron pairs (doublons) and localized electron--hole pairs (Frenkel--type excitons) . Here we demonstrate that at a variation of the on-site Coulomb repulsion U there occurs a quantum transition from the doublon to the exciton regime that is conditioned by the low-energy effective hybridization of the valence and conductivity subbands. We calculate momentum distribution functions and electronic spectrum functions for different U, which reveal topologically nontrivia…
In the study of strongly-correlated, many-electron systems, the Hubbard Kanamori (HK) model has emerged as one of the prototypes for transition metal oxide physics. The model is multi-band in nature and contains Hund's coupling terms, which have pronounced effects on metal-insulator transitions, high-temperature superconductivity, and other physical properties. In the following, we present a complete theoretical framework for treating the HK model using the ground state Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method and analyze its performance on few-band models whose parameters approximat…
The problem of deconfinement phases in strongly correlated systems is discussed. In space-time dimension $d=3+1$, a competition of confinement and Coulomb phases occurs, but in $d=2+1$ the confining phase dominates owing to monopole proliferation, but gapless fermion excitations can change the situation. Combining the Kotliar-Ruckenstein representation and fractionalized spin-liquid deconfinement picture, the Mott transition and Hubbard subbands are treated, general expressions in the case of an arbitrary bare band spectrum being obtained. The transition into a metallic state is determined by …

The combined exact diagonalization - ab initio approach and its application to correlated electronic states and Mott-Hubbard localization in nanoscopic systems
Using the strong coupling diagram technique, magnetic and spectral properties of the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model are investigated in the ranges of repulsions $t\leq U\leq 10t$, temperatures $0.1t\lesssim T\lesssim 4t$ and electron concentrations $0.6\lesssim\bar{n}\leq 1$ with $t$ the hopping constant. The approach takes into account interactions of electrons with spin and charge fluctuations of all ranges and fulfils the Mermin-Wagner theorem. Temperature and concentration dependencies of the uniform magnetic susceptibility, the variation of the double occupancy with the repulsion…
The influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model is considered using the strong coupling diagram technique. Infinite sequences of diagrams containing ladder inserts, which describe the interaction of electrons with these fluctuations, are summed, and obtained equations are self-consistently solved for the ranges of Hubbard repulsions $2t\leq U\leq 10t$, temperatures $0.2t\lesssim T\lesssim t$ and electron concentrations $0.7\lesssim\bar{n}\leq1$ with $t$ the intersite hopping constant. For all considered $U$ the system exhibits a transitio…
In this work we investigate doping and temperature dependences of electronic structure of system with strong electronic correlations and strong electron-phonon interaction modeling cuprates in the frameworks of the three-band p-d-Holstein model by a polaronic version of the generalized tight binding (GTB) method. Within this approach the electronic structure is formed by polaronic quasiparticles constructed as excitations between initial and final polaronic multielectron states. Doping and temperature effects are taken into account by occupation numbers of local excited polaronic states and va…
We develop an efficient approach for computing two-particle response functions and interaction vertices for multiorbital strongly correlated systems based on fluctuation around rotationally-invariant slave-boson saddle-point. The method is applied to the degenerate three-orbital Hubbard-Kanamori model for investigating the origin of the s-wave orbital antisymmetric spin-triplet superconductivity in the Hund's metal regime, previously found in the dynamical mean-field theory studies. By computing the pairing interaction considering the particle-particle and the particle-hole scattering channels…
Quasi-particle spectra of perovskites: Enhanced Coulomb correlations at surfaces
钙钛矿Ca $_x$ Sr $_{1-x}$ VO $_3$、Ca $_x$ La $_{1-x}$ VO $_3$和SrRuO $_3$的光电子能谱表明，库仑相关性在表面比在本体中更明显。为了研究这种效应，我们使用动力学平均场论结合量子蒙特卡罗技术和评估的多轨道自能。这些系统表现出不同程度的能带填充，范围从金属到绝缘。在计算中的关键输入是依赖于层的局域态密度，我们从半无限立方系统的紧束缚方法获得。由于在费米能级附近的钙钛矿$t_{2g}$带的平面特征，表面原子的配位数减少导致优先在垂直于表面的平面中杂化的那些子带的表面密度显著变窄。虽然总带宽与体相一致，但表面的有效带变窄导致准粒子谱具有更强的相关特征。特别是，在$E_F$附近的准粒子峰的重量减少，并提高了较低和较高的哈伯德带的振幅，与实验一致。
