Abstract:In recent times, ab initio density functional theory has emerged as a powerful tool for making the connection between models and materials. Insulating transition metal oxides with a small spin forms a fascinating class of strongly correlated systems that exhibit spin-gap states, spin–charge separation, quantum criticality, superconductivity, etc. The coupling between spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom makes the chemical insights equally important to the strong correlation effects. In this review, we establish the usefulness of ab initio tools within the framework of the N-th order muffin orbital (NMTO)-downfolding technique in the identification of a spin model of insulating oxides with small spins. The applicability of the method has been demonstrated by drawing on examples from a large number of cases from the cuprate, vanadate, and nickelate families. The method was found to be efficient in terms of the characterization of underlying spin models that account for the measured magnetic data and provide predictions for future experiments.
