Abstract

Compounds incorporating transition metal (TM) elements are a unique and diverse class of solids (Khomskii, Transition Metal Compounds, 2014, [1]). Amongst them a plethora of strongly correlated electron systems is found with properties primarily governed by the anisotropically shaped d-orbital electrons. A selection of the most exciting TMOs certainly comprises the 3d elements Ti, Co, Cu, Mn, and Ni, the 4d elements Y, Nb, and Ru, and the 5d elements W and Ir.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is noted that in another set of models the high conductivity at the LaAlO\(_3\)/SrTiO\(_3\) interface is explained by the presence of oxygen vacancies [31].
