Absence of intermediate spin state in hole-doped LaCoO3: dynamical
mean-field study
   [PDF]

P. Augustinsky, V. Krapek, J. Kunes
The hole and electron doped LaCoO$_3$ is studied using the dynamical mean-field theory. The one-particle spectra are analyzed and compared to the available experimental data, in particular the x-ray absorption spectra. Analyzing the temporal spin-spin correlation functions we find the atomic intermediate spin state is not important for the observed Curie-Weiss susceptibility. Contrary to commonly held view about the roles played by the $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ electrons we find narrow quasi-particle bands of $t_{2g}$ character crossing the Fermi level accompanied by strongly damped $e_g$ excitations.
