Switching between Mott-Hubbard and Hund physics in Moiré quantum simulators — •Siheon Ryee and Tim Wehling — I. Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
Mott-Hubbard and Hund electron correlations have been realized thus far in separate classes of materials. In this talk, we show that a single Moiré homobilayer encompasses both kinds of physics in a controllable manner. We develop a microscopic multiband model which we solve by dynamical mean-field theory to nonperturbatively address the local many-body correlations. We demonstrate how tuning with twist angle, dielectric screening, and hole density allows to switch between Mott-Hubbard and Hund correlated states in twisted WSe2 bilayer. The underlying mechanism bases on controlling Coulomb-interaction-driven orbital polarization and energetics of concomitant local singlet and triplet spin configurations. From comparison to recent experimental transport data, we find signatures of a filling-controlled transition from a triplet charge-transfer insulator to a Hund-Mott metal. Our finding establishes twisted transition metal dichalcogenides as a tunable platform for exotic phases of quantum matter emerging from large local spin moments.
