Phase Diagram of Orbital-Selective Mott Transitions at Finite Temperatures

Search this article

Description

Mott transitions in the two-orbital Hubbard model with different bandwidths are investigated at finite temperatures. By means of the self-energy functional approach, we discuss the stability of the intermediate phase that has one orbital localized and the other itinerant; this phase is caused by the orbital-selective Mott transition (OSMT). It is shown that the OSMT realizes two different coexistence regions at finite temperatures in accordance with the recent results of Liebsch. We further find that a particularly interesting behavior emerges around the special conditions U=U′ and J=0, which includes a new type of coexistence region that has three distinct states. By systematically changing the Hund coupling, we establish the global phase diagram to elucidate the key role played by the Hund coupling on the Mott transitions.
