Magnetic field dependence of conductivity and effective mass of carriers in a model of Mott-Hubbard material

Abstract

The influence of external magnetic field $h$ on a static conductivity of Mott-Hubbard material which is described by model with correlated hopping of electrons has been investigated. By means of canonical transformation the effective Hamiltonian which takes into account strong intra-site Coulomb repulsion and correlated hopping is obtained. Using a variant of generalized Hartree-Fock approximation the single-electron Green function and quasiparticle energy spectrum of the model have been calculated. The static conductivity $\sigma$ has been calculated as a function of $h$, electron concentration $n$ and temperature $T$. The correlated hopping is shown to cause the electron-hole asymmetry of transport properties of narrow band materials.
