Ferromagnetism and Metal-Insulator Transitions in Correlated Electron Systems with Alloy Disorder

Alloy disorder can affect ferromagnetism and metal-insulator transitions of correlated lattice fermion systems in subtle and often unexpected ways. Solving the Hubbard model and the periodic Anderson model within dynamical mean-field theory we show that alloy disorder can increase the Curie temperature of a non-disordered system, and also yields novel Mott or Kondo insulators at fractional electronic densities.
