The 15 pages that link to Mott insulator, each with the reason it gives.

• Band gapCompared with: It shows that an insulating energy gap need not arise from simple band structure.

• Bose–Einstein condensateCompared with: In optical lattices, increasing interactions can drive a condensate into this localized phase.

• High-temperature superconductivityRelated: Many cuprate superconductors emerge when charge carriers are added to a nearby Mott insulating state.

• Exchange interactionRelated: Its low-energy spin behavior can be governed by exchange between localized electrons.

• Optical latticeBroader topic: Increasing repulsion in a lattice can suppress tunneling and produce one atom per site.

• Band theoryCompared with: It shows that band filling alone cannot explain every solid’s insulating behavior.

• Electron correlationBroader topic: Strong correlation can overturn the metallic behavior predicted by independent-electron band theory.

• Hubbard modelRelated: Explaining interaction-driven insulation was a central motivation for Hubbard’s model.

• Electronic band structureCompared with: A simple independent-electron band picture can predict it to be metallic.

• Mott transitionBroader topic: It is the insulating phase produced when repulsion suppresses charge motion.

• Ultracold atomsBroader topic: Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide a direct setting to observe this phase.

• Band structure methodsBroader topic: It demonstrates why a conventional band calculation may predict a metal where the material is insulating.

• Lattice models in condensed matterBroader topic: It shows how lattice interactions can defeat the conducting behavior expected from band filling.

• Nevill MottRelated: Mott insulators provide a materials platform for studying unusual magnetic and electronic phases.

• Valence and conduction bandsCompared with: It shows that band filling alone cannot explain every insulating solid.
