Correlated insulator collapse due to quantum avalanche via in-gap ladder states

Abstract The significant discrepancy observed between the predicted and experimental switching fields in correlated insulators under a DC electric field far-from-equilibrium necessitates a reevaluation of current microscopic understanding. Here we show that an electron avalanche can occur in the bul...
