Understanding the supercritical phase of the Hubbard model with timescales of the local moment screening — •Léo Gaspard^{1, 2} and Jan M.

A material’s phase diagram typically indicates the types of realized long-range orders, corresponding to instabilities in static response functions. In correlated systems, however, key phenomena crucially depend on dynamical processes, too: In a Mott insulator, the electrons’ spin moment fluctuates in time, while it is dynamically screened in Kondo systems. Here, we introduce a timescale "t_m" characteristic for the screening of the local spin moment and demonstrate that it fully characterizes the dynamical mean-field phase diagram of the Hubbard model: The retarded magnetic response delineates the Mott transition and provides a new perspective on its signatures in the supercritical region above. We show that "t_m" has knowledge of the Widom line and that it can be used to demarcate the Fermi liquid from the bad metal regime. Additionally, we identify a region with preformed local moments that we suggest to have a thermodynamic signature.
