Filling of the mott-hubbard gap in the high temperature photoemission spectrum of (V0.972Cr0.028)2O3.
Photoemission spectra of the paramagnetic insulating phase of (V0.972Cr0.028)2O3, taken in ultrahigh vacuum up to the unusually high temperature (T) of 800 K, reveal a property unique to the Mott-Hubbard (MH) insulator that has not been observed previously. With increasing T the MH gap is filled by spectral weight transfer, in qualitative agreement with high-T theoretical calculations combining dynamical mean field theory and band theory in the local density approximation.
