We present the first-ever microscopic dynamical simulation of the temperature-controlled Mott metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model. By combining the efficient Gutzwiller method with molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that the transformation from the correlated metal to the Mott insulator proceeds via the nucleation and growth of the Mott droplets. Moreover, the time evolution of the Mott volume fraction is found to follow a universal transformation kinetics. We show that after an initial incubation period, the early stage of the phase transformation is characterized by a constant nucleation rate and an interface-controlled cluster growth mechanism, consistent with the classical theory developed by Kolmogorov, Johnson, Mehl, and Avrami. This is followed by a novel intermediate stage of accelerated phase transformation that is significantly different from the prediction of the classical theory. Morevoer, the cluster-growth dynamics in this stage exhibits an unexpected avalanche behavior, similar to the Barkhausen noise in magnetization dynamics, even in the absence of quenched disorder. Detailed structural characterization further uncovers a universal correlation function for the transient mixed-phase states of the Mott transition. The implications of our findings for the recent nano-imaging experiments on metal-insulator transition of correlated materials are also discussed.
