Ground state, electronic structure and magnetism of LaMnO3
Abstract
We have calculated the discrete low-energy electronic structure in LaMnO3 originating from the atomic-like states of the strongly correlated 3d4 electronic system occurring in the Mn3+ ion. We take into account very strong intra-atomic correlations, crystal field interactions and the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling. We calculated magnetic and paramagnetic state of LaMnO3 within the consistent description given by Quantum Atomistic Solid State Theory (QUASST). Our studies indicate that the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling and the orbital magnetism are indispensable for the physically adequate description of electronic and magnetic properties of LaMnO3. Keywords: 3d oxides, crystal field, spin-orbit coupling, LaMnO3 PACS: 71.70Ej, 75.10Dg
