Thermoelectric properties of Mott insulator with correlated hopping at microdoping

An influence of the localization of itinerant electrons induced by correlated hopping on the electronic charge and heat transport is discussed for the lightly doped Mott insulator phase of the Falicov-Kimball model. The case of strongly reduced hopping amplitude between the sites with occupied f-electron levels, when an additional band of localized d-electron states could appear on the DOS in the Mott gap, is considered. Due to the electron-hole asymmetry and anomalous features on the DOS and transport function induced by correlated hopping, a strong enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient is observed at low temperatures, when the flattened dependence is displayed in a wide temperature range.

Nonlocal correlations in the optical conductivity spectra

Optical conductivity spectra are studied for the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping on the Bethe lattice. An expression for the current-current correlation function is derived using dynamical mean field theory. In the metallic phase with small correlated hopping values, the shape of Drude peak deviates from the Debye relaxation peak, and an additional wide peak is observed on the optical conductivity spectra and on Nyquist plot when Fermi level is in the vicinity of the two particle resonance. At larger values of the correlated hopping parameter, the density of states contains three bands and the corresponding optical spectra and Nyquist plots display a more complicated shape with additional peaks. For strong local correlations, the correlated hopping reduces the width of the upper Hubbard band resulting in a decrease of the Drude peak spectral weight for the doped Mott insulator.

Resonant enhancement of thermoelectric properties by correlated hopping for the Falicov-Kimball model on Bethe lattice

The effect of correlated hopping on the charge and heat transport of strongly correlated particles is studied for the Falicov-Kimball model on the Bethe lattice. Exact solutions for the one particle density of states (DOS) and two particle transport function (the "quasiparticle" scattering time) are derived using dynamical mean field theory. For a wide range of the correlated hopping, the transport function exhibits singularities due to the resonant two-particle contribution, whereas the one particle DOS does not show any anomalous features. By tuning the number of itinerant electrons, so as to bring the Fermi level close to the resonant frequency, we get a large increase of the electrical and thermal conductivities, and the thermoelectric power. When the hopping amplitude between the occupied sites is reduced sufficiently, the itinerant electrons localize in the clusters of sites occupied by $f$ electrons. This gives rise to an additional narrow band in the DOS between the lower and upper Hubbard bands, but has only a minor effect on the thermoelectric properties.
