Abstract:
We study the Mott transition in the half-filled Hubbard model with spatially alternating interactions by means of the coherent potential approximation. The phase boundary between metallic and insulating phases at zero temperature is derived and the nature of the Mott states is also considered. Our results are in good agreement with the ones recently obtained by the two-site dynamical mean-field theory.
