We study equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of electron-phonon systems described by the Hubbard-Holstein model using the dynamical mean-field theory. In equilibrium, we benchmark the results for impurity solvers based on the one-crossing approximation and slave-rotor approximation against non-perturbative numerical renormalization group reference data. We also examine how well the low energy properties of the electron-boson coupled systems can be reproduced by an effective static electron-electron interaction. The one-crossing and slave-rotor approximations are then used to simulate insulator-to-metal transitions induced by a sudden switch-on of the electron-phonon interaction. The slave-rotor results suggest the existence of a critical electron-phonon coupling above which the system is transiently trapped in a non-thermal metallic state with coherent quasiparticles. The same quench protocol in the one-crossing approximation results in a bad metallic state.

We consider how electron-phonon interaction influences the insulator-metal transitions driven by doping in the strongly correlated system. Using the polaronic version of the generalized tight-binding method, we investigate a multiband two-dimensional model taking into account both Holstein and Su-Schrieffer-Heeger types of electron-lattice contributions. For adiabatic ratio of the hopping parameter and the phonon field energy, different types of band structure evolution are observed in a wide electron-phonon parameter range. We demonstrate the relationship between transition features and such properties of the system as the polaron and bipolaron crossovers, pseudogap behavior of various origin, orbital selectivity, and the redistribution of the spectral weight due to the electron-phonon interaction.
We use the nonequilibrium dynamical mean field theory formalism to compute the equilibrium and nonequilibrium resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) signal of a strongly interacting fermionic lattice model with a coupling of dispersionless phonon s to the total charge on a given site. In the atomic limit, this model produces phonon subbands in the spectral function, but not in the RIXS signal. Electron hopping processes however result in phonon-related modifications of the charge excitation peak. We discuss the equilibrium RIXS spectra and the characteristic features of nonequilibrium states induced by photo-doping and by the application of a static electric field. The latter produces features related to Wannier-Stark states, which are dressed with phonon sidebands. Thanks to the effect of field-induced localization, the phonon features can be clearly resolved even in systems with weak electron-phonon coupling.

We use quantum Monte Carlo to determine the magnetic and transport properties of coupled square lattice spin and fermionic planes as a model for a metal-insulator interface. Specifically, layers of Ising spins with an intra-layer exchange constant $J $ interact with the electronic spins of several adjoining metallic sheets via a coupling $J_H$. When the chemical potential cuts across the band center, that is, at half-filling, the Neel temperature of antiferromagnetic ($J>0$) Ising spins is enhanced by the coupling to the metal, while in the ferromagnetic case ($J<0$) the metallic degrees of freedom reduce the ordering temperature. In the former case, a gap opens in the fermionic spectrum, driving insulating behavior, and the electron spins also order. This induced antiferromagnetism penetrates more weakly as the distance from the interface increases, and also exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on $J_H$. For doped lattices an interesting charge disproportionation occurs where electrons move to the interface layer to maintain half-filling there.
A high-resolution investigation of the electron spectra close to the metal-to-insulator transition in dynamic mean-field theory is presented. An all-numerical, consistent confirmation of a smooth transition at zero temperature is provided. In particu lar, the separation of energy scales is verified. Unexpectedly, sharp peaks at the inner Hubbard band edges occur in the metallic regime. They are signatures of the important interaction between single-particle excitations and collective modes.

We investigated metal-insulator transitions for double layer two-dimensional electron hole systems in transition metal dicalcogenides (TMDC) stacked on opposite sides of thin layers of boron nitride (BN). The interparticle interaction is calculated b y including the screening due to the polarization charges at different interfaces, including that at the encapsultion and the substrate of experimental structures. We compute and compare the energies of the metallic electron-hole plasma and the newly proposed insulating exciton solid with fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulation including the high valley degeneracy of the electron bands. We found that for some examples of current experimental structures, the transition electron/hole density is in an accessible range of g x 10^12 /cm*2 with g between 4.1 and 14.5 for spacer thicknesses between 2.5 and 7.5 nm. Our result raise the possibility of exploiting this effect for logic device applications.
