dc.description.abstract | The pyrochlore lattice involves corner-sharing tetrahedra and the resulting geometric frustration is believed to suppress any antiferromagnetic order for Mott insulators on this structure. There are nevertheless short-range correlations which could be vital near the Mott–Hubbard insulator-metal transition. We use a static auxiliary-field-based Monte Carlo to study this problem in real space on reasonably large lattices. The method reduces to unrestricted Hartree–Fock at zero temperature but captures the key magnetic fluctuations at finite temperature. Our results reveal that increasing interaction drives the nonmagnetic (semi) metal to a “spin disordered” metal with small local moments, at some critical coupling, and then, through a small pseudogap window, to a large moment, gapped, Mott insulating phase at a larger coupling. The spin disordered metal has a finite residual resistivity which grows with interaction strength, diverging at the upper coupling. We present the resistivity, optical conductivity, and density of states across the metal-insulator transition and for varying temperature. These results set the stage for the more complex cases of Mott transition in the pyrochlore iridates and molybdates. | en |
