Orbital-selective crossover and Mott transitions in an asymmetric Hubbard model of cold atoms in optical lattices

We study the asymmetric Hubbard model at half filling as a generic model to describe the physics of two species of repulsively interacting fermionic cold atoms in optical lattices. We use dynamical mean-field theory to obtain the paramagnetic phase diagram of the model as a function of temperature,...
