Open Points on the Nature of the Antiferromagnetic Ground State of V2O3

S. Di Matteo, N.B. Perkins, C.R. Natoli

In the last three years, various theoretical interpretations have been proposed on the nature of the ground state in the antiferromagnetic (AFI) phase of V2O3. There are two main results on this subject: the idea of a correlated vertical molecule and that of a complex ground state. In spite of the results achieved, we show, with the present work, that the pictures proposed are still lacking and more work is needed for a unified description of the AFI phase of V2O3.
