Investigating LaNi(1-x)M(x)O3 (M = Mn and Fe), we identify a characteristic evolution of the spectral function with increasing disorder in presence of strong interaction effects across the metal-insulator transition. We discuss these results vis-a-vis existing theories of electronic structure in simultaneous presence of disorder and interaction.

The self-interaction corrected local spin-density approximation is used to investigate the ground-state valency configuration of transition metal (TM=Mn, Co) impurities in p-type ZnO. Based on the total energy considerations, we find a stable localis
ed TM$^{2+}$ configuration for a TM impurity in ZnO if no additional hole donors are present. Our calculations indicate that the (+/0) donor level is situated in the band gap, as a consequence of which the TM$^{3+}$ becomes more favourable in p-type ZnO, where the Fermi level is positioned at the top of the valence band. When co-doping with N, it emerges that the carrier-mediated ferromagnetism can be realized in the scenario where the N concentration exceeds the TM impurity concentration. If TM and N concentrations are equal, the shallow acceptor levels introduced by N are fully compensated by delocalised TM d-electrons.
We discuss Mott insulating and metallic phases of a model with $e_g$ orbital degeneracy to understand physics of Mn perovskite compounds. Quantum Monte Carlo and Lanczos diagonalization results are discussed in this model. To reproduce experimental r
esults on charge gap and Jahn-Teller distortions, we show that a synergy between the strong correlation effects and the Jahn-Teller coupling is important. The incoherent charge dynamics and strong charge fluctuations are characteristic of the metallic phase accompanied with critical enhancement of short-ranged orbital correlation near the insulator.
Complex oxides with $4d$ and $5d$ transition-metal ions recently emerged as a new paradigm in correlated electron physics, due to the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and electron interactions. For $4d$ and $5d$ ions, the spin-orbit coupling, $z
eta$, can be as large as 0.2-0.4 eV, which is comparable with and often exceeds other relevant parameters such as Hunds coupling $J_{rm H}$, noncubic crystal field splitting $Delta$, and the electron hopping amplitude $t$. This gives rise to a variety of spin-orbit-entangled degrees of freedom and, crucially, non-trivial interactions between them that depend on the $d$-electron configuration, the chemical bonding, and the lattice geometry. Exotic electronic phases often emerge, including spin-orbit assisted Mott insulators, quantum spin liquids, excitonic magnetism, multipolar orderings and correlated topological semimetals. This paper provides a selective overview of some of the most interesting spin-orbit-entangled phases that arise in $4d$ and $5d$ transition-metal compounds.
We study the exchange interactions and resulting magnetic phases in the honeycomb cobaltates. For a broad range of trigonal crystal fields acting on Co2+ ions, the low-energy pseudospin-1/2 Hamiltonian is dominated by bond-dependent Ising couplings t
hat constitute the Kitaev model. The non-Kitaev terms nearly vanish at small values of trigonal field Delta, resulting in spin liquid ground state. Considering Na3Co2SbO6 as an example, we find that this compound is proximate to a Kitaev spin liquid phase, and can be driven into it by slightly reducing Delta by sim 20 meV, e.g., via strain or pressure control. We argue that due to the more localized nature of the magnetic electrons in 3d compounds, cobaltates offer the most promising search area for Kitaev model physics.
We present a temperature-dependent resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering (REXS) study of the metal-insulator transition in Sr3(Ru1-xMnx)2O7, performed at both Ru and Mn L-edges. Resonant magnetic superstructure reflections, which indicate an incipie
nt instability of the parent compound, are detected below the transition. Based on modelling of the REXS intensity from randomly distributed Mn impurities, we establish the inhomogeneous nature of the metal-insulator transition, with an effective percolation threshold corresponding to an anomalously low x<0.05 Mn substitution.
