Description

The Mott-Hubbard series SrVO3-CaVO3-LaVO3-YVO3 present a distinct metal-insulator transition. The microscopic origin of this transition can be related to the correlation effects in the electronic structure. The valence band photoemission results show very interesting trends across these Mott-Hubbard series. These results suggest that the O 2p states play an important role in the Mott-Hubbard transition. Some of the changes in the spectra are unexpected and cannot be explained by the current Mott-Hubbard theories (author)
