    All-t2g electronic orbital reconstruction of monoclinic MoO2 battery material
    (Basel : MDPI, 2020) Craco, Luis; Leoni, Stefano
    Motivated by experiments, we undertake an investigation of electronic structure reconstruction and its link to electrodynamic responses of monoclinic MoO2. Using a combination of LDA band structure with DMFT for the subspace defined by the physically most relevant Mo 4d-bands, we unearth the importance of multi-orbital electron interactions to MoO2 parent compound. Supported by a microscopic description of quantum capacity we identify the implications of many-particle orbital reconstruction to understanding and evaluating voltage-capacity profiles intrinsic to MoO2 battery material. Therein, we underline the importance of the dielectric function and optical conductivity in the characterisation of existing and candidate battery materials.
