Spontaneous Disorder Near the Mott Transition on Frustrated Lattices
Explore the phenomenon of spontaneous disorder near the Mott transition on frustrated lattices in this 48-minute lecture by Pinaki Majumdar from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex interplay between correlation and disorder in classical and quantum systems, focusing on the pyrochlore Hubbard model. Examine the effects of lattice geometry, frustration, and magnetic states on the Mott transition. Investigate experimental realizations in molybdates and analyze phase diagrams, magnetization, resistivity, and optical properties. Learn about effective models, coupling mechanisms, and strategies for understanding spontaneous disorder. Gain insights into tuning localization and compare theoretical predictions with experimental observations in this comprehensive exploration of Mott physics on frustrated lattices.
