Study of quantum transport at the Metal-insulator transition in Falicov-Kimball Model within Alloy analogy[HBNI Th133]

Abstract

This thesis discusses the five parts - (a) Study of Falicov-Kimball Model (FKM) within alloy analogy using cluster DMFT (CDMFT) technique (b) Study of quantum criticality of dc conductivity at a continuous metal-insulator transition (c) Study of quantum criticality of magneto-transport at a continuous metal-insulator transition (d) Thermal transport across a continuous metal-insulator transition and (e) Optical conductivity and universal dielectric response at the continuous metal-insulator transition
