Dielectric breakdown of Mott insulators in dynamical mean-field theory
Physical review letters, 2010•APS
Using nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory, we compute the time evolution of the
current in a Mott insulator after a strong electric field is turned on. We observe the formation
of a quasistationary state in which the current is almost time independent although the
system is constantly excited. At moderately strong fields this state is stable for quite long
times. The stationary current exhibits a threshold behavior as a function of the field, in which
the threshold increases with the Coulomb interaction and vanishes as the metal-insulator …
