Cobaltates have rich spin-states and diverse properties. Using spin-state pictures and first-principles calculations, we study the electronic structure and magnetism of the mixed-valent double perovskite YBaCo2O6. We find that YBaCo2O6...

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.

The ionic–electronic conduction of (La1−xSrx)CoO3−δ is studied by experiments and calculations. The spin state transition occurred concomitantly with the metal–insulator transition.
