1. INTRODUCTION Allen (ZSA) (99). It has given a straightforward method for the classification of oxides according to the interplay between Coulomb correlation energy U of d electrons and charge transfer energy ∆. Two cases are considered: (1)when U < ∆ the Mott-Hubbard d − d gap with energy U is formed, with accompanying dn + dn → dn−1 + dn+1 charge fluctuations; (2) when U > ∆ a gap of p−d type with energy ∆ is formed, and compound becomes charge-transfer insulator with dn + dn → dn+1 + dnL electronic fluctua- tions, along with formation of a hole L on the oxygen atom in the valence p band (28). 1.3 Metal-insulator transitions Variety of metal-insulator transitions exist due to complicated interplay between various factors (59). In transition metal oxides the factors include the d electron bandwith, Coulomb repulsion, spin-orbit coupling. However the most basic clas- sification is done depending on whether the primary interaction is electron-ion or electron-electron. The first group neglects existence of many electrons and their interaction and consists of: • Bloch-Wilson (band) insulators, • Peierls insulators, • Anderson insulators. Interactions of electrons give rise to group of insulators of Mott type. Especially important are electron correlations which are the main feature related to appear- ance of MIT. Few types of transitions in transition metal oxides (TMOs) have already been identified, although this set is not complete: • Mott or Mott-Hubbard insulator, • charge-transfer insulator, • Slater insulator. The first three appear in compounds with symmetric complexes (62) where crystal field splitting leads to partial lifting of the five-fold degeneracy of transition metal (TM) d states into t2g and eg degenerate states. The interaction of these 14
