| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to extract the crucial roles of many-body interactions in a strongly correlated electron system from a new perspective, we investigate novel phenomena emerging under non-equilibrium conditions with DC electric current. We mainly focus on the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4.
As the most significant result, we discovered that the Mott insulator phase turns into a semi-metallic state under DC current; the antiferromagnetic ordering is suppressed and diamagnetism emerges at low temperatures. To elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon, we constructed a model in which the electron correlation effect becomes weak under DC current and the resulting light-mass quasiparticles produce diamagnetism.
We also searched for materials showing similar behavior. We selected ruthenium oxides, 5d transition metal oxides based on iridium, and triangular-lattice organic compounds. As a result, we found very similar transport and magnetic phenomena in a related ruthenium oxide.
