Electronic Excitation Structure, Correlation, and Relaxation and Their Effects on the Optical Properties and Electron Emission of Transition Metal Oxides.
Abstract
Studies of the electronic excitation structure of transition metal oxides and the effect of the structure on the optical properties, electron correlations, and photoemission spectra of these materials have been made. Techniques have been developed which for the first time allow precise and general calculations of the excitation structure so that in addition to the above properties several other properties can be obtained. These techniques have been applied in particular to calculations on TiO. The calculations allow comparison with experiment and identification of the structure in the optical spectra of oxidized surfaces. They also show that significant correlation and relaxation effects occur in the band structure. (Author)
