Nonequilibrium dynamics of multiorbital correlated electron system under time-dependent electric fields

Abstract

To clarify a key role of orbital degrees of freedom in the response of the many-body electron state of correlated electrons to an external field, we investigate the real-time dynamics in an $e_{\mathrm{g}}$-orbital Hubbard model under applied electric fields by exploiting numerical techniques such as a time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. The ground state without applying an electric field is found to be an antiferromagnetic/ferro-orbital state. After we switch on an oscillating electric field, it gives rise to the creation of holon-doublon pairs when the frequency of the applied electric field exceeds a charge excitation gap. We argue that a pair-hopping process yields a dynamical deformation of the orbital configuration.
