Excitonic Instability at the Spin-State Transition in the Two-Band Hubbard Model

arXiv:1310.0669 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.89.115134

Abstract

Using linear response theory with the dynamical mean-field approximation we investigate the particle-hole instabilities of the two-band Hubbard model in the vicinity of the spin-state transition. Besides the previously reported high-spin--low-spin order we find an instability towards triplet excitonic condensate. We discuss the strong and weak coupling limits of the model, in particular, a connection to the spinful hard-core bosons with a nearest-neighbor interaction. Possible realization in LaCoO3 at intermediate temperatures is briefly discussed.
