Abstract

The on-site Coulomb energy (Udd) and crystal-field splitting (10Dq) of doped Mott-insulator La1−xSrxTiO3 have been estimated using resonant soft-x-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES). The Raman scattering of the eg- and t2g-resonant SXES spectra indicate features due to the d − d transitions corresponding to the 10Dq and Udd/2, respectively. The Udd is in accord with the energy separation between the lower and the upper Hubbard bands obtained by photoemission and inverse-photoemission spectra. The Udd does not change much around two metal-insulator transitions at x = 0.05 and 0.95 in La1−xSrxTiO3, while the crystal-field splitting increases as a function of x.
