Pressure-Induced Site-Selective Mott Insulator-Metal Transition in Fe_{2}O_{3}

We provide experimental and theoretical evidence for a pressure-induced Mott insulator-metal transition in Fe_{2}O_{3} characterized by site-selective delocalization of the electrons. Density functional plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) calculations, along with Mössbauer spectroscopy, x-ra...
