Orbital Selective Directional Conductor in the Two Orbital Hubbard Model

Employing a recently developed many-body technique that allows for the incorporation of thermal effects, the phase diagram of a two dimensional two orbital (degenerate $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$) Hubbard model is presented varying temperature and the repulsion $U$. The phase diagram is rich, including a narrow region of nematicity above the N\'eel temperature. Our main result is the finding at intermediate $U$ of a novel antiferromagnetic orbital selective state where an effective dimensional reduction renders one direction insulating and the other metallic. Possible realizations of this state are discussed.
