    Current-induced strong diamagnetismin the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4Chanchal Sow,1* Shingo Yonezawa,1 Sota Kitamura,2,3 Takashi Oka,3,4

    Mott insulators can host a surprisingly diverse set of quantum phenomena when their frozenelectrons are perturbed by various stimuli. Superconductivity, metal-insulator transition,and colossal magnetoresistance induced by element substitution, pressure, and magnetic fieldare prominent examples. Here we report strong diamagnetism in the Mott insulator calciumruthenate (Ca2RuO4) induced by dc electric current.The application of a current density ofmerely 1 ampere per centimeter squared induces diamagnetism stronger than that in othernonsuperconducting materials.This change is coincident with changes in the transportproperties as the system becomes semimetallic.These findings suggest that dc current may bea means to control the properties of materials in the vicinity of a Mott insulating transition.

    In response to an external magnetic field,conduction electrons in a material exhibitcyclotronmotion, resulting in an orbital mag-netic moment. Such orbital motion leads toquantized (discrete) energy levels, known as

    the Landau levels. In a simple system, the re-sultant increase in the total energy is propor-tional to the square of the appliedmagnetic field.This increase in energy results in a negative mag-netic susceptibility, which does not depend onthe field strength. This effect is known as theLandau diamagnetism, or orbital diamagnetism(1). Another source of diamagnetism, ubiquitouslypresent irrespective of the metallicity of a mate-rial, is the circulation of inner-shell electrons. Inmost materials, both types of diamagnetism arerather weak and are often hindered by paramag-netic contributions. However, pyrolytic graphiteand bismuth are well known to exhibit excep-tionally large diamagnetism (Fig. 1A), owing tostrong Landau diamagnetism originating fromlight-mass electrons with gapped Dirac disper-sions aswell asmulti-orbital effects (2–4). Recently,relatively large diamagnetism was observed insome topological semimetals such as TaAs, as-cribable to the Weyl electrons in the bulk elec-tronic state (5), againwithDirac-cone dispersion.Here we show that the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4

    under dc electric current exhibits diamagnetismstronger than other known nonsuperconductingmaterials (Fig. 1A). Notably, the diamagnetism ofCa2RuO4 at 7 T is comparable to that of high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−d. Neg-ativemagnetization stemming from localmagnetic

    moments is found in certain ferrimagnets, such asYVO3, which contain two or more magnetic sub-lattices (6). However, such negative magnetizationis associated with the flipping of spontaneouslyordered moments; the differential magnetic sus-ceptibility dM/dH is always positive (7), whereMis magnetization andH is appliedmagnetic field.By contrast, diamagnetism is defined as negativeM induced gradually by an external magneticfield, characterized by negative dM/dH.The Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 (8) is an end

    member of the system Ca2−xSrxRuO4, which ex-hibits a rich variety of magnetic, transport, andstructural properties (9–13), including the spin-triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4, the otherend member (14). Ca2RuO4 exhibits a metal-to-insulator transition at TMI = 357 K accompaniedby a first-order structural transition character-ized by the flattening of the RuO6 octahedrabelow TMI (15–17). Below TMI, the fourth electronof the Ru4+(4d4) ion predominantly occupiesthe dxy orbital (18). On further cooling, Ca2RuO4undergoes an antiferromagnetic ordering at theNeel temperature TN = 113 K, with the Ru spinsaligning along the orthorhombic b axis [Fig. 1B,(17)]. Resonant x-ray diffraction reveals anotherorder, known as orbital ordering (OO), at TOO~ 260 K (19). Ca2RuO4 can be made metallic bypressure (12), chemical substitution (9), or anelectric field (20), accompanied by a first-orderstructural transition to stretch the RuO6 octahe-dra along the cdirection.However, diamagnetismin the normal state has never been reported inCa2−xSrxRuO4.Here we investigated the transport and mag-

    netic properties of Ca2RuO4 single crystals underdc current, as summarized in Fig. 1C. Figure 2Ashows the temperature dependence of the re-sistivity r(T) under various applied currents fora sample with a cross section of about 2.9 ×10−3 cm2. Typical insulating behavior in r(T) isobserved at 10 nA. It is technically difficult topassmoderate current (e.g., 10 nA to 3mA) downto low temperatures owing to the high resistivityof the material (Fig. 1C and fig. S6). However,

    with increasing current, it becomes possible toflow current down to 20 K because the resistivitydrops by more than five orders of magnitudewith a current as small as 4mA. The shape of ther(T ) curve changes from that expected for ther-mal activation to a curve shape characteristicof semimetallic behavior with increasing current,consistent with the observed partial closing of theMott gap (21).The magnetization also exhibits substantial

    change. As shown in Fig. 2B, the behavior ofM(T) under a current of 10 nA is identical to itsbehavior at zero current (8). However, with in-creasing current,M decreases gradually, and theantiferromagnetic transition is suppressed before2 mA is reached. We speculate that by reducingthemany-body correlation effect, carriers injectedby current promote the itinerant nature of 4delectrons so effectively that the local momentsreadily vanish, melting the antiferromagneticorder. With higher current (4.0 to 5.5 mA),M(T)exhibits a decrease below ~150 K and eventu-ally becomes negative below 50 K. We carefullychecked that this negative signal is not an ex-perimental artifact (fig. S3 to S5). The directionof the magnetization is always antiparallel to theapplied field, regardless of the field and/or cur-rent directions (fig. S4); thus, the local magneticfield induced by external current does not playa role. This invariance also excludes magneto-electric effects observed in multiferroic systems(22) as a possible origin.We emphasize that jouleheating, which certainly raises the actual sampletemperature, cannot explain the diamagnetism(fig. S5), because Ca2RuO4 under ambient con-ditions exhibits positive magnetic susceptibilityat all temperatures (fig. S12). Therefore, we con-clude that the observed negative magnetizationin Ca2RuO4 originates from diamagnetism ofconduction carriers. Interestingly, the observeddiamagnetism exhibits a peculiar anisotropy withrespect to the applied magnetic field directions(fig. S10).Next, we focus on magnetotransport proper-

    ties. The longitudinal magnetoresistance (MR)at 7 T under a current of 5 mA exhibits sign re-versal at around 70K (Fig. 2C). Such negativeMRwithout apparent ferromagnetic spin fluctuationsis unusual. The Hall coefficient (RH) under cur-rents of 5 to 9 mA (Fig. 2D) also exhibits signchange below 70 to 80 K, indicating the presenceof multiple types of carriers in the current-induced state with semimetallic behavior.We summarize the present findings in Fig. 1C,

    where various characteristic temperatures areplotted as functions of the current density J.Above 0.4 A/cm2, the Mott insulating state grad-ually evolves into a state with semimetallic be-havior, with suppression of the antiferromagneticordering. Above 1.3 A/cm2, strong diamagnetismemerges at temperatures below TDM = 50 K(DM, diamagnetism). TDM stays nearly constantwith increasing current up to 2 A/cm2. We em-phasize that the current used in this study islower than the current required to induce theinsulator tometal transition at room temperature(5 A/cm2) (20).

  • To understand the observed transport proper-ties, as well as the strong diamagnetism, we in-troduce a phenomenological model of a semimetaloriginating from the Mott-Hubbard bands. Inthis state, electron and hole pockets with lightquasiparticle masses emerge from the upper andlower Hubbard bands, respectively. The pocketsappear in the parts of momentum space wherethe band hybridization ismost prominent (Fig. 3,A to J). Although this model is somewhat spec-ulative, it is consistent with the experimentalfindings, as explained below. For the modeling,we use a tight-binding approach and start withthe band structure of a hypothetical two-bandmetallic state for Ca2RuO4 [Fig. 3, A and F, and(23), section 5] without electron correlations. Weassume the ferro-orbital ordered states (18): Twoelectrons per Ru4+ ion fully occupy the quasi–two dimensional (2D) orbitals and the other twopartially occupy the quasi-1D orbitals. Thus, theelectronic states close to the Fermi level consistof two half-filled bands originating from the dxzand dyz orbitals with dispersions in the kx and kydirections (fig. S14). The two bands hybridize toform two rounded square–shaped Fermi surfacescalled a (hole band) and b (electron band) (Fig.3A). Note that the orbital mixing caused by octa-hedral distortion is neglected.To account for the electronic correlation and

    the Mott insulating nature, we next use a pheno-menological approach proposed in (24, 25). Whenthe effect of electron correlation representedby the self-energy S = D2/[w + D1D(k)] is turnedon [where D1D(k) is uncorrelated 1D dispersionand D is the gap parameter.], a Mott gap imme-diately opens up in the Brillouin zone (BZ) wherethe 1D nature is strongly preserved on the G-MandM-X lines (Fig. 3B). The hybridization forcesthe two 1D bands to repel each other, pushing

  • one downward and the other upward, as shownin the magnified band dispersion in Fig. 3K. Inthe middle of the G-X line, where the hybrid-ization is strongest, the Hubbard bands form astructure reminiscent of electron-hole pocketsin an indirect-gap semiconductor or semimetal.The bottom of the upper Hubbard band (UHB)with a character is given by ±D − 2g and the topof the lower Hubbard band (LHB) with b char-acter by ±D + 2g, where g is the hybridizationparameter [see (23), section 5(b)]. For a smallcorrelation (D < 2g), the bottom of the a-UHBand the top of the b-LHB form a Fermi arc–likestructure (Fig. 3, B and C). These Fermi arcsshrink as the electron correlation is increased,resulting in a pair of small electron-hole pocketson the G-X line (Fig. 3D) at D ∼ 2g (Fig. 3K). Ascorrelations are increased further, the gap fullyopens, and the formation of the UHB and LHB iscompleted (Fig. 3J). In our experimental system,the tuning of the electronic correlations is achieved

    by varying the current (21); the possible mecha-nisms for this tuning are discussed below.When the system approaches the insulator-to-

    semimetal transition (i.e., for D = 24 meV), theeffective bandmassm* becomes light for both theUHB and LHB (Fig. 3K). According to the Landaupicture, diamagnetism is inversely proportionalto m*. Thus, we expect large diamagnetism. Theassociated momentum-resolved contribution ofthe orbital susceptibility L(k) [see (23), section5(b)] indeed exhibits sharp peaks at the band edges(Fig. 3L). The total orbital magnetic susceptibil-ity is obtained by integrating L(k) over the BZ(Fig. 3M). In the vicinity of the full gap opening(D = 24meV), a large diamagnetismwith a sharpdrop in susceptibility below a certain temper-ature is derived. With this value of D, the signchange of the calculated magnetic susceptibil-ity occurs at 32 K, agreeing reasonably with theexperimental observation of the negative sus-ceptibility below TDM = 50 K. In spite of such

    qualitative agreements in the temperature de-pendence, the size of the calculated diamagnetismis an order of magnitude smaller than that ob-served. Section 5(c) of (23) gives an intuitive ex-planation of the negative susceptibility and itstemperature dependence: The UHB and LHB ofthe Mott insulator act as the conduction andvalence bands. With the gap closing, they formtiny electron and hole pockets; the strong dia-magnetism originates from the orbital motions ofthermally excited quasiparticles on these pockets.One of the remaining issues to be resolved is

    the mechanism by which the Mott gap is closedby a dc electric current; although experimentally,such an occurrence has been established (21). Onepossiblemechanism is the increase in the effectiveelectron temperature in the nonequilibrium stateunder dc current. This mechanism has been con-sidered to explain the suppression of ferromagneticordering (26) and melting of charge density waves(27) in strongly correlated electron systems. As

  • an additional mechanism, we speculate that theenhanced screening by the mobile quasiparti-cles reduces the effect of electron correlations.In Ca2RuO4, weakening of the lattice deforma-tion, known to occur by Sr substitution (28) andpressure (29), may take place under current andfurther assist the reduction of the effective cor-relation through the enhancement of the hop-ping energy. To elucidate the relative relevanceof these scenarios, it would be useful to furtherprobe the properties of this material under dccurrent, such as by using photoemission to probethe thermal distribution of electrons and Ramanspectroscopy to probe the softening of phonons.Local electronic properties can be investigatedwith various scanning probes.This work demonstrates that the Mott in-

    sulator can be driven to a distinct electronic stateunder nonequilibrium steady-state conditions in-duced by a simple dc electric current. Our workdemonstrates that dc current is a powerful tuningparameter that can be used to explore phases em-erging around the Mott insulating state.
