Defining Metallicity and Mott Localization in Correlated Nanoscopic Systems

A. Rycerz, J. Spalek, R. Podsiadly

Exact ground state properties are presented by combining the exact diagonalization in the Fock space (including the long-range Coulomb interaction) with an ab initio optimization of the single-particle (Wannier) functions. The quasiparticle mass is almost divergent at the localization threshold, where the particle distribution of the Fermi-Dirac type gets smeared out. The analysis is performed using 1s-like Gaussian-type orbitals.
