We have attributed magnetism and electronic structure of V2O3 to the V3+ ions. We claim that the V3+ ion in V2O3 should be considered as described by the quantum numbers S=1 and L=3. Such quantum numbers result from two Hund's rules. The…

We argue that in LaCoO3 exists the fine electronic structure associated with the atomic-like states of the Co3+ ions and caused by the crystal-field and intra-atomic spin-orbit interactions. This low-energy fine electronic structure has to…
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…
