The impressive development of experimental techniques in ultracold quantum degenerate gases of alkaline-earth-like atoms in the last years has allowed investigation of strongly correlated systems. Long-lived metastable electronic states in combination with decoupled nuclear spin give the opportunity to study the Hamiltonians beyond the possibilities of current alkali-based experiments. Ytterbium is particularly convenient due to its large number of bosonic and fermionic (e.g. 173Yb) isotopes with a wide range of interaction strengths.
We study finite-temperature properties of the two-band Hubbard model on a simple cubic lattice. Our main goal is to investigate the role of exchange interaction in finite temperature magnetic phases, for the whole range of fillings. We use the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory approach and its extension in real space to obtain finite-temperature phase diagrams including transitions to magnetically-ordered phases. We determine which parameter regimes are most favourable for ferromagnetism, in terms of experimental observation in ultracold atomic gases in a lattice. We also calculate the entropy in the vicinity of magnetically-ordered phases that allows to make important predictions for on-going and future experiments aiming at approaching and studying long-range ordered states in ultracold atomic mixtures.
