Abstract

We investigate the electronic structure of La1−xCaxVO3 for various values of x. LaVO3 is a Mott-Hubbard insulator with band gap of about 1.0±0.2eV. Hole doping in this system leads to the growth of a new feature at the Fermi level for x > ~ 0.2, suggesting an insulator-to-metal transition. In addition, the metallic compositions show a metal-insulator transition between the bulk and the surface. We separate the surface and bulk electronic structures from the experimental spectra. The evolution of the bulk electronic structure as a function of doping is characterized by a spectral weight transfer from the incoherent to the coherent feature.
