With a fixed value of the Coulomb $U=6.0 eV$, we show how the abrupt pressure driven MIT is understood in a new picture: pressure-induced decrease of the trigonal distortion within the strong correlation scenario (which is not obtained within LDA). We find good quantitative agreement with $(i)$ switch of the orbital occupation of $(a_{1g},e_{g1}^{pi}, e_{g2}^{pi})$ and the spin state S=1 across the MIT, $(ii)$ thermodynamics and $dc$ resistivity, and $(iii)$ the one-electron spectral function, within this new scenario. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0211210 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
