Ground state properties of spinless, extended Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) on a finite size triangular lattice with orbital magnetic field normal to the lattice are studied using numerical diagonalization and Monte-Carlo simulation methods. We show that the ground state configurations of localized electrons strongly depend on the magnetic field. Magnetic field induces a metal to insulator transition accompanied by segregated phase to an ordered regular phase except at density $n_f = 1/2$ of localized electrons. It is proposed that magnetic field can be used as a new tool to produce segregated phase which was otherwise accessible only either with correlated hopping or with large on-site interactions.

A numerical diagonalization technique with canonical Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm is used to study the phase transitions from low temperature (ordered) phase to high temperature (disordered) phase of spinless Falicov-Kimball model on a triangular lattice with correlated hopping ($t^{prime}$). It is observed that the low temperature ordered phases (i.e. regular, bounded and segregated) persist up to a finite critical temperature ($T_{c}$). In addition, we observe that the critical temperature decreases with increasing the correlated hopping in regular and bounded phases whereas it increases in the segregated phase. Single and multi peak patterns seen in the temperature dependence of specific heat ($C_v$) and charge susceptibility ($chi$) for different values of parameters like on-site Coulomb correlation strength ($U$), correlated hopping ($t^{prime}$) and filling of localized electrons ($n_{f}$) are also discussed.

Ground state properties of the spin$-1/2$ Falicov-Kimball model on a triangular lattice in the presence of uniform external magnetic field are explored. Both the orbital and the Zeeman field-induced effects are taken into account and in each unit cel l only rational flux fractions are considered. Numerical results, obtained with the help of Monte Carlo simulation algorithm, reveal that the ground state properties strongly depend on the onsite Coulomb correlation between itinerant and localized electrons, orbital magnetic field as well as the Zeeman splitting. Strikingly, for the on-site Coulomb correlation $U/t approx 1$, the Zeeman splitting produces a phase transition from paramagnetic metal/insulator to ferromagnetic insulator/metal transition in the itinerant electron subsystem accompanied by the phase segregation to the bounded/regular phase in the localized electrons subsystem. For the onsite Coulomb correlation $U/t approx 5$, although no metal to insulator transition is observed but a magnetic phase transition from paramagnetic phase to ferromagnetic phase in the itinerant electron subsystem is observed with the Zeeman splitting. These results are applicable to the layered systems e.g. cobaltates, rare earth and transition metal dichalcogenides, $GdI_{2}$, $NaTiO_{2}$, $NaVO_{2}$ and $Be_{x}Zn_{1-x}O$ etc. It has been also proposed that the results can be realized in the optical lattices with mixtures of light atoms and heavy atoms using the cold atomic techniques.
Thermodynamic properties of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model are studied on a triangular lattice using numerical diagonalization technique with Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm. Discontinuous metal-insulator transition is observed at finite tempera ture. Unlike the case of square lattice, here we observe that the finite temperature effect is not able to smear out the discontinuous metal-insulator transition seen in the ground state. Calculation of specific heat (C_v) shows single and double peak structures for different values of parameters like on-site correlation strength (U), f-electron energy (E_f) and temperature.
We have investigated the half-filling two-orbital Hubbard model on a triangular lattice by means of the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The densities of states and optical conductivity clearly show the occurence of metal-insulating transition (MI T) at U$_{c}$, U$_{c}$=18.2, 16.8, 6.12 and 5.85 for J=0, 0.01U, U/4 and U/3, respectively. The distinct continuities of double occupation of electrons, local square moments and local susceptibility of the charge, the spin and the orbital at J > 0 suggest that the MIT is the first-order; however at J=0, the MIT is the second-order in the half-filling two-orbital Hubbard model on triangular lattices. We attribute the first-order nature of the MIT to the low symmetry of the systems with finite Hunds coupling J.
Ground state magnetic properties of the spin-dependent Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) are studied by incorporating the intrasite exchange correlation J (between itinerant $d$- and localized $f$- electrons) and intersite (superexchange) correlation $J_{s e}$ (between localized $f$- electrons) on a triangular lattice for two different fillings. Numerical diagonalization and Monte-Carlo techniques are used to determine the ground state magnetic properties. Transitions from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic and again to re-entrant antiferromagnetic phase is observed in a wide range of parameter space. The magnetic moments of $d$- and $f$- electrons are observed to depend strongly on the value of $J$, $J_{se}$ and also on the total number of $d$- electrons ($N_d$).
