Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has been employed in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT+DMFT) to investigate the metal-insulator transition (MIT) of strongly correlated $3d$ electrons due to quantum confinement. We shed new light on the microscopic mechanism of the MIT and previously reported anomalous subband mass enhancement, both of which arise as a direct consequence of the quantization of V $xz(yz)$ states in the SrVO$_3$ layers. We therefore show that quantum confinement can sensitively tune the strength of electron correlations, leading the way to applying such approaches in other correlated materials.

We point out the generic competition between the Hunds coupling and the spin-orbit coupling in correlated materials, and this competition leads to an electronic dilemma between the Hunds metal and the relativistic insulators. Hunds metals refer to th
e fate of the would-be insulators where the Hunds coupling suppresses the correlation and drives the systems into correlated metals. Relativistic Mott insulators refer to the fate of the would-be metals where the relativistic spin-orbit coupling enhances the correlation and drives the systems into Mott insulators. These contradictory trends are naturally present in many correlated materials. We study the competition between Hunds coupling and spin-orbit coupling in correlated materials and explore the interplay and the balance from these two contradictory trends. The system can become a spin-orbit-coupled Hunds metal or a Hunds assisted relativistic Mott insulator. Our observation could find a broad application and relevance to many correlated materials with multiple orbitals.
The pressure-induced insulator to metal transition (IMT) of layered magnetic nickel phosphorous tri-sulfide NiPS3 was studied in-situ under quasi-uniaxial conditions by means of electrical resistance (R) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. This
sluggish transition is shown to occur at 35 GPa. Transport measurements show no evidence of superconductivity to the lowest measured temperature (~ 2 K). The structure results presented here differ from earlier in-situ work that subjected the sample to a different pressure state, suggesting that in NiPS3 the phase stability fields are highly dependent on strain. It is suggested that careful control of the strain is essential when studying the electronic and magnetic properties of layered van der Waals solids.
Metal-insulator transition (MIT) is one of the most conspicuous phenomena in correlated electron systems. However such transition has rarely been induced by an external magnetic field as the field scale is normally too small compared with the charge
gap. In this paper we present the observation of a magnetic-field-driven MIT in a magnetic semiconductor $beta $-EuP$_3$. Concomitantly, we found a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in an extreme way: the resistance drops billionfold at 2 kelvins in a magnetic field less than 3 teslas. We ascribe this striking MIT as a field-driven transition from an antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic insulator to a spin-polarized topological semimetal, in which the spin configuration of $mathrm{Eu^{2+}}$ cations and spin-orbital coupling (SOC) play a crucial role. As a phosphorene-bearing compound whose electrical properties can be controlled by the application of field, $beta $-EuP$_3$ may serve as a tantalizing material in the basic research and even future electronics.
Experimental results on the metal-insulator transition and related phenomena in strongly interacting two-dimensional electron systems are discussed. Special attention is given to recent results for the strongly enhanced spin susceptibility, effective
mass, and thermopower in low-disordered silicon MOSFETs.
We investigate ultra-fast coherent quantum dynamics of undoped $text{BaBiO}_{3}$ driven by a strong laser pulse. Our calculations demonstrate that in a wide range of radiation frequencies and intensities the system undergoes a transient change from t
he insulating to the metallic state, where the charge density wave and the corresponding energy spectrum gap vanish. The transition takes place on the ultra-fast time scale of tens femtoseconds, comparable to the period of the corresponding lattice vibrations. The dynamics are determined by a complex interplay of the particle-hole excitation over the gap and of the tunnelling through it, giving rise to the highly non-trivial time evolution which comprises high harmonics and reveals periodic reappearance of the gap. The time evolution is obtained by solving the dynamical mean-field theory equations with the realistic parameters for the system and radiation. Results are summarized in the phase diagram, helpful for a possible experimental setup to achieve a dynamical control over the conduction state of this and other materials with the similarly strong electron-phonon interaction.
