Dynamical mean-field theory of two-orbital Hubbard model

Abstract

The effect of interorbital hopping on orbital selective Mottness in a two-band correlation system is investigated by using the dynamical mean-field theory with the Lanczos method as impurity solver. The phase diagrams of the two-orbital Hubbard model with non-local interorbital hopping (<i>t</i>₁₂) , where the orbital selective Mott phases (OSMP) region is expanded by the increasing of the interorbital hopping. We compare the results obtained by self-consistent relations of Bethe lattice and squate lattice based on DMFT procedure, and the general OSMP physics of Bethe lattice is consistent with that of the square lattice while the critical points of two kinds of lattices are different. We extend the method to the study of half-filled Ba₂CuO_{4–<i>δ</i>} materials. By comparing with the band structure obtained from the density functional theory (DFT), it is found that the isotropic inter-orbital hopping has a great influence on the bandstructure. The DFT bandstructure in DMFT is considered, and the phase diagram of the material is obtained. The half-filled Ba₂CuO_{4–<i>δ</i>} should be orbital-selective Mott compound according to our results.
