Metal-insulator transition in CaVO${}_3$ thin films: interplay between epitaxial strain, dimensional confinement, and surface effects

Sophie Beck, Gabriele Sclauzero, Uday Chopra +1

We use density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to study multiple control parameters for tuning the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in CaVO${}_3$ thin f…
