We implement spin-orbit couplings (SOC) within the framework of semiempirical orthogonalization-corrected methods (OMx). The excited-state wavefunction is generated from configuration interaction with single excitations (CIS). The SOC Hamiltonian in terms...

Configuration interaction cluster calculation can effectively reproduce the experimentally measured Ti L 23-edge absorption spectrum for the TiO6 cluster LaTiO3. A further investigation of the hybridization strength and charge-transfer energy effects on the multiplet structures suggests that LaTiO3 should be classified as an intermediate state between the charge-transfer and Mott–Hubbard regimes. Detailed temperature-dependent simulations of absorption spectra support the lifting of Ti t 2g orbital degeneracy and crystal field splitting. The spin–orbit coupling scenario is ruled out, even though 3d spin–orbit coupling can reproduce the experimental spectrum without including temperature. A combined polarization- and crystal-field-splitting-dependent analysis indicates asymmetric ΔCF–orbital interactions for the TiO6 cluster [Ti3+:3d 1(t 2g 1)], different from the orbital–lattice interactions reported for the NiO6 cluster [Ni3+:3d 7(t 2g 6 eg 1)]. The orbital polarization is defined in terms of the normalized electron occupancies in orbitals with xy and xz(yz) symmetries, and nearly complete orbital polarization (more than 75%) is observed, indicating strongly reduced orbital fluctuations due to the correlation effects. This is consistent with the density of states for titanates based on local density approximation plus dynamical mean-field theory calculations.
