Microscopic evolution of doped Mott insulators from polaronic metal to Fermi liquid
Microscopic evolution of doped Mott insulators from polaronic metal to Fermi liquid
The competition between antiferromagnetism and hole motion in two-dimensional Mott insulators lies at the heart of a doping-dependent transition from an anomalous metal to a conventional Fermi liquid. Condensed matter experiments suggest charge carriers change their nature within this crossover, but a complete understanding remains elusive. We observe such a …
