Motivated by recent results of $N$th order muffin-tin orbital (NMTO) implementation of the density functional theory (DFT), we re-examine low-temperature ground-state properties of the anti-ferromagnetic insulating phase of vanadium…
We present a detailed account of the physics of Vanadium sesquioxide (${\rm V_2O_3}$), a benchmark system for studying correlation induced metal-insulator transition(s). Based on a detailed perusal of a wide range of experimental data, we…
The electronic structure of the corundum-type transition-metal oxides V2O3 and Ti2O3 is studied by means of the augmented spherical wave method, based on density-functional theory and the local density approximation. Comparing the results…
Vanadium sesquioxide, V2O3, boasts a rich phase diagram whose description necessitates the accounting for many-body Coulomb correlations. Spectral properties of this compound have been successfully addressed within dynamical mean field…
We investigate a quarter-filled two-band Hubbard model involving a crystal-field splitting, which lifts the orbital degeneracy as well as an inter-orbital hopping (inter-band hybridization). Both terms are relevant to the realistic…
Vanadium Sesquioxide (V$_2$O$_3$) is an antiferromagnetic insulator below $T_{\mathrm N}\approx$ 155 K. The magnetic order is not of C- or G-type as one would infer from the bipartite character of the hexagonal basal plane in the…
Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide V_2O_3 have been examined by magnetic thermal neutron scattering. While the antiferromagnetic insulator can be accounted for by a Heisenberg localized spin…
The debate about whether the insulating phases of vanadium dioxide (VO2) can be described by band theory or must be described by a theory of strong electron correlations remains unresolved even after decades of research. Energy-band…
The BCS picture of superconductivity describes pairing between electrons originating from a single band. A generalization of this picture occurs in multi-band superconductors, where electrons from two or more bands contribute to…
In solids, crystal field splitting refers to the lifting of atomic orbital degeneracy by the surrounding ions through the static electric field. Similarly, we show that the degenerated $d$ orbitals, which were derived in the harmonic…
LiV_2 O_4 is one of the most puzzling compounds among transition metal oxides because of its heavy fermion like behavior at low temperatures. In this paper we present results for the orbital state and magnetic properties of LiV_2 O_4…
Metal-insulator transition was microscopically investigated by orbital-resolved nuclear magnetic resonance (OR-NMR) spectroscopy in a single crystal of vanadium dioxide VO$_2$. Observations of the anisotropic $^{51}$V Knight shift and the…
Multi-orbital physics in quasi-two-dimensional electron gases (q2DEGs) triggers unique phenomena not observed in bulk materials, such as unconventional superconductivity and magnetism. Here, we investigate the mechanism of orbital selective…
The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a well utilized system for quantum technology, in particular quantum sensing and microscopy. Fully employing the NV center's capabilities for metrology requires a strong understanding of the behavior of…

Orbital and spin ordering phenomena in strongly correlated systems are commonly studied using the local-density approximation + dynamical mean-field theory approach. Typically, however, such simulations are restricted to simplified models…

The electronic structure of the honeycomb lattice iridates Na2IrO3 and Li2IrO3 has been investigated using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Crystal-field split d-d excitations are resolved in the high-resolution RIXS spectra. In…
With electron filling $n=1$ in the $\rm Sr_2VO_4$ compound, the octahedrally coordinated $t_{\rm 2g}$ orbitals are strongly active due to tetragonal distortion induced crystal field tuning by external agent such as pressure. Considering the…
