摘要
The electronic properties of paramagnetic V2O3 are investigated by the computational scheme LDA+ DMFT(QMC). This approach merges the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean-held theory (DMFT) and uses quantum Monte Carlo simulations (QMC) to solve the effective Anderson impurity model of DMM: Starting with the crystal structure of metallic V2O3 and insulating (V0.962Cr0.038)(2)O-3 we find a Mott-Hubbard transition at a Coulomb interaction U approximate to 5 eV. The calculated spectrum is in very good agreement with experiment. Furthermore, the orbital occupation and the spin state S = 1 determined by us agree with recent polarization dependent x-ray-absorption experiments.
