Metal-Insulator Transition and Lattice Instability of Paramagnetic V2O3

Abstract

We determine the electronic structure and phase stability of paramagnetic V${}_2$O${}_3$ at the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator phase transition, by employing a combination of an ab initio method for calculating band structures with dynamical mean-field theory. The structural transformation associated with the metal-insulator transition is found to occur upon a slight expansion of the lattice volume by $\sim 1.5$ %, in agreement with experiment. Our results show that the structural change precedes the metal-insulator transition, implying a complex interplay between electronic and lattice degrees of freedom at the transition. Electronic correlations and full charge self-consistency are found to be crucial for a correct description of the properties of V${}_2$O${}_3$.
