The highlight of our research in FY2025 is the theoretical elucidation of how and why electronic modes can be induced in strongly correlated insulators by various spin and charge perturbations such as magnetic field and light irradiation, which in turn alter the band structures (Fig. 1) [ 1 ]. The validity and generality across different models and dimensions are demonstrated using numerical calculations. The findings of this study provide basic principles for band-structure engineering in strongly correlated insulators, beyond the conventional framework of rigid-band-based electronics.
