Electronic correlation-driven orbital polarization transitions in the orbital-selective Mott compound Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$

Abstract

The electronic states near the Fermi level of recently discovered superconductor Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ consist primarily of the Cu $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ orbitals. We investigate the electronic correlation effect and the orbital polarization of an effective two-orbital Hubbard model mimicking the low-energy physics of Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ in the hole-rich regime by utilizing the dynamical mean-field theory with the Lanczos method as the impurity solver. We find that the hole-overdoped Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ with $3d^8$ (Cu${}^{3+}$) is in the orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP) at half-filling, and the typical two-orbital feature remains in Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ when the electron filling approaches $n_e\sim 2.5$, which closely approximates to the experimental hole doping for the emergence of the high-$T_c$ superconductivity. We also obtain that the orbital polarization is very stable in the OSMP, and the multiorbital correlation can drive orbital polarization transitions. These results indicate that in hole-overdoped Ba${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ the OSMP physics and orbital polarization, local magnetic moment, and spin or orbital fluctuations still exist. We propose that our present results are also applicable to Sr${}_2$CuO${}_{4-\delta }$ and other two-orbital cuprates, demanding an unconventional multiorbital superconducting scenario in hole-overdoped high-$T_c$ cuprates.
