Abstract

Recent advances in the field of quantum Monte Carlo simulations for impurity problems allow --within dynamical mean field theory-- for a more thorough investigation of the two-band Hubbard model with narrow/wide band and SU(2)-symmetric Hund's exchange. The nature of this transition has been controversial, and we establish that an orbital-selective Mott-Hubbard transition exists. Thereby, the wide band still shows metallic behavior after the narrow band became insulating -not a pseudogap as for an Ising Hund's exchange. The coexistence of two solutions with metallic wide band and insulating or metallic narrow band indicates, in general, first-order transitions.
