We apply the dynamical mean field theory to calculate the low-density limit of the small polaron optical conductivity in the Holstein model. Classical schemes of approximation are recovered in weak coupling and in the adiabatic and anti-adiabatic strong coupling limits. Such schemes are not suitable for the intermediate coupling regime, where our theory gives an anomalous behaviour of the spectral weight at low energy as the temperature decreases.

The temperature-dependent evolution of the Kondo lattice is a long-standing topic of theoretical and experimental investigation and yet it lacks a truly microscopic description of the relation of the basic f-c hybridization processes to the fundamental temperature scales of Kondo screening and Fermi-liquid lattice coherence. Here, the temperature dependence of f-c hybridized band dispersions and Fermi-energy f spectral weight in the Kondo lattice system CeCoIn5is investigated using f-resonant angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) with sufficient detail to allow direct comparison to first-principles dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations containing full realism of crystalline electric-field states. The ARPES results, for two orthogonal (001) and (100) cleaved surfaces and three different f-c hybridization configurations, with additional microscopic insight provided by DMFT, reveal f participation in the Fermi surface at temperatures much higher than the lattice coherence temperature,T*≈45K, commonly believed to be the onset for such behavior. The DMFT results show the role of crystalline electric-field (CEF) splittings in this behavior and a T-dependent CEF degeneracy crossover belowT*is specifically highlighted. A recent ARPES report of low T Luttinger theorem failure for CeCoIn5is shown to be unjustified by current ARPES data and is not found in the theory.

Abstract Electrical heterogeneity at the depth of 900-1400 km in Earth’s interior is a key factor to constrain the minor phase composition of the lower mantle. However, prevailing mineralogical models including Fe- or Al-enriched silicates or ferropericlase are insufficient to explain the ultra-high electrical conductivity in local areas of subduction slabs. Here, we measure the electrical conductivity of ε-FeOOH up to 61 GPa. A 3-order abrupt jump of electrical conductivity is observed in 45-50 GPa, reaching 1.24±0.19 × 103 S/m at 61 GPa. Density mean field theory simulations suggest that ε-FeOOH undergoes a Mott-type electronic transition, which leads the conduction mechanism to switch from small polaron conduction to free electron conduction. Compared with bridgmanite, ferropericlase and conventional mantle compositional models, the electrical conductivity of the metallic ε-FeOOH is 1-3 orders of magnitude higher. Minor or moderate incorporation of metallic ε-FeOOH into the ambient lower mantle could reproduce the observed electrical heterogeneity derived from geomagnetic data at 900-1400 km depth.
