Abstract

A model for the electronic structure of the transition-metal monoxides is presented. It consists of: (a) A criterion based on 4s bandwidths and spectroscopic term values to decide on the metallic versus insulating character; (b) A quantitative description for the insulating oxides which includes itinerant metal 4s and oxygen 2p states and correlated localized ionic levels arising from the 3d electrons. Optical properties are studied in detail; comparison with experiment is reasonably good.
