Nonequilibrium states induced by an applied bias voltage (V) and the corresponding current-voltage characteristics of one-dimensional models describing band and Mott insulators are investigated theoretically by using nonequilibrium Greens functions. We attach the models to metallic electrodes whose effects are incorporated into the self-energy. Modulation of the electron density and the scalar potential coming from the additional long-range interaction are calculated self-consistently within the Hartree approximation. For both models of band and Mott insulators with length L_C, the bias voltage induces a breakdown of the insulating state, whose threshold shows a crossover depending on L_C. It is determined basically by the bias $V_{th}sim Delta$ for L_C smaller than the correlation length $xi=W/Delta$ where W denotes the bandwidth and $Delta$ the energy gap. For systems with $L_Cgg xi$, the threshold is governed by the electric field, $V_{th}/L_C$, which is consistent with a Landau-Zener-type breakdown, $V_{th}/L_Cpropto Delta^2/W$. We demonstrate that the spatial dependence of the scalar potential is crucially important for this crossover by showing the case without the scalar potential, where the breakdown occurs at $V_{th}sim Delta$ regardless of the length L_C.
Mott insulators sometimes show dramatic changes in their electronic states after photoirradiation, as indicated by photoinduced Mott-insulator-to-metal transition. In the photoexcited states of Mott insulators, electron wavefunctions are more delocal
Employing the density-matrix renormalization group technique in the matrix-product-state representation, we investigate the photoexcited superconducting correlations induced by the $eta$-pairing mechanism in the half-filled Hubbard chain. We estimate
We study interaction-induced Mott insulators, and their topological properties in a 1D non-Hermitian strongly-correlated spinful fermionic superlattice system with either nonreciprocal hopping or complex-valued interaction. For the nonreciprocal hopp
We study the topological properties of Bose-Mott insulators in one-dimensional non-Hermitian superlattices, which may serve as effective Hamiltonians for cold atomic optical systems with either two-body loss or one-body loss. We find that in the stro
Topological phases of matter are among the most intriguing research directions in Condensed Matter Physics. It is known that superconductivity induced on a topological insulators surface can lead to exotic Majorana modes, the main ingredient of many
