Title: “Harnessing DMFT: recent advances in Hund Metal Research”
Abstract: The on-site Hund coupling J has been a focal point of research in electron correlation for the past 15 years. It leads to the emergence of a Hund metal, a correlated metallic regime that occurs in multiorbital systems away from half-filling. This system is characterized by electron correlation promoted by J rather than proximity to a Mott insulator, resulting in a range of physical phenomena such as spin-freezing crossover, spin-orbital separation, orbital differentiation, and superconductivity.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of the Hund metallic phase and highlight our recent discoveries in the field [1-4]. These include the existence of Hund metals in two orbital systems, an enhancement of charge-order instability in the Hund metallic regime, and key experimental signatures of Hund metal. We will also introduce recent advances in ab initio DMFT methodology developments targeting correlated quantum materials[5-7].
