Metal-insulator transition (MIT) underlies many remarkable and technologically important phenomena in VO2. Even though its monoclinic structure had before been the reserve of the insulating state, recent experiments have observed an unexpected monoclinic metallic state. Here, we use a modified approach combining first-principles calculations with orbital-biased potentials to reproduce the correct stability ordering and electronic structures of different phases of VO2. We identify a ferromagnetic monoclinic metal that is likely to be the experimentally observed mysterious metastable state. Furthermore, the calculations show that an isostructural insulator-metal electronic transition is followed by the lattice distortion from the monoclinic structure to the rutile one. These results not only explain the experimental observations of the monoclinic metallic state and the decoupled structural and electronic transitions of VO2, but also provide a useful understanding for the metal-insulator transition in other strongly correlated d electron systems.

We review the latest developments in the field of the metal-insulator transition in strongly-correlated two-dimensional electron systems. Particular attention is given to recent discoveries of a sliding quantum electron solid and interaction-induced spectrum flattening at the Fermi level in high-quality silicon-based structures.
