Abstract
We propose and study a two-orbital lattice extension of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model in the large-<i>N</i> limit. The phase diagram of this model features a high-temperature isotropic non-Fermi liquid which undergoes first-order thermal transition into a nematic insulator or continuous thermal transition into a nematic metal phase, separated by a tunable tricritical point. These phases arise from spontaneous partial orbital polarization of the multiorbital non-Fermi liquid. We explore the spectral and transport properties of this model, including d.c. elastoresistivity, which exhibits a peak near nematic transition, as well as nonzero frequency elastoconductivity. Our work offers a useful perspective on nematic phases and transport in correlated multiorbital systems.
