Nonadiabatic Atomic-Like State Stabilizing Antiferromagnetism and Mott Insulation in MnO

This paper reports evidence that the antiferromagnetic and insulating ground state of MnO is caused by a nonadiabatic atomic-like motion, as is evidently the case in NiO. In addition, it is shown that experimental findings on the displacements of the Mn and O atoms in the antiferromagnetic phase of...
