An alternative route to rich physics is a single orbital model on a lattice with multiple sites in a unit cell.
Henry Nourse, Ben Powell, and I just posted a preprint
Multiple insulating phases due to the interplay of strong correlations and lattice geometry in a single-orbital Hubbard model
We find ten distinct ground states for the single-orbital Hubbard model on the decorated honeycomb lattice, which interpolates between the honeycomb and kagome lattices and is the simplest two-dimensional net. The rich phase diagram includes a real-space Mott insulator, dimer, and trimer Mott insulators, a spin-triplet Mott insulator, flat band ferromagnets, and Dirac metals. It is determined as a function of interaction strength, band filling, and hopping anisotropy, using rotationally invariant slave boson mean-field theory.
We welcome comments.
