Description

Electronic structures of perovskite oxides LaMnO3 were studied using the density functional methods. Our calculations indicated that although the effects of Jahn-Teller distortion play a main role in getting the correct ground state, a reasonable strong electron correlation correction is necessary for obtaining the exact band structure and 3.5 eV is a good choice for the on-site Coulomb parameter U.
