Description

A first principles computation of the Hubbard intra-atomic electronic Coulomb interaction parameter U is performed for the VO2 molecular cluster. The results confirm earlier suggestions that the metal-semiconductor transition in VO2 is driven by intra-atomic electron correlations of the Heitler-London type. (author)
