The physics of quantum many-body systems have been studied using bulk correlated materials, and recently, moiré superlattices formed by atomic bilayers have appeared as a novel platform in which the carrier concentration and the band structures are highly tunable. In this brief review, we introduce an intermediate platform between those systems, namely, a band-filling- and bandwidth-tunable electric double-layer transistor based on a real organic Mott insulator κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl. In the proximity of the bandwidth-control Mott transition at half filling, both electron and hole doping induced superconductivity (with almost identical transition temperatures) in the same sample. The normal state under electric double-layer doping exhibited non-Fermi liquid behaviors as in many correlated materials. The doping levels for the superconductivity and the non-Fermi liquid behaviors were highly doping-asymmetric. Model calculations based on the anisotropic triangular lattice explained many phenomena and the doping asymmetry, implying the importance of the noninteracting band structure (particularly the flat part of the band).

AbstractThe surprisingly low current density required for inducing the insulator to metal transition has made Ca2RuO4 an attractive candidate material for developing Mott-based electronics devices. The mechanism driving the resistive switching, however, remains a controversial topic in the field of strongly correlated electron systems. Here we probe an uncovered region of phase space by studying high-purity Ca2RuO4 single crystals, using the sample size as principal tuning parameter. Upon reducing the crystal size, we find a four orders of magnitude increase in the current density required for driving Ca2RuO4 out of the insulating state into a non-equilibrium phase which is the precursor to the fully metallic phase. By integrating a microscopic platinum thermometer and performing thermal simulations, we gain insight into the local temperature during simultaneous application of current and establish that the size dependence is not a result of Joule heating. The findings suggest an inhomogeneous current distribution in the nominally homogeneous crystal. Our study calls for a reexamination of the interplay between sample size, charge current, and temperature in driving Ca2RuO4 towards the Mott insulator to metal transition.
