Novel Mott Transitions in Non-Isotropic Two-Band Hubbard Model
arXiv:cond-mat/0505393 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.116402
Abstract
The Mott transition in a two-band Hubbard model involving subbands of different widths is studied as a function of temperature using dynamical mean field theory combined with exact diagonalization. The phase diagram is shown to exhibit two successive first-order transitions if the full Hund's rule coupling is included. In the absence of spin-flip and pair-exchange terms the lower transition remains first-order while the upper becomes continuous.
