The equivalence between the doping-driven and the pressure-driven metal-to-insulator transition, which was hitherto assumed in studies on Cr-doped V2O3, has been recently questioned by the results of novel optical and X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments. Theoretical calculations, combining full multiplet cluster calculations and the merger of the local density approximation with the dynamical mean field theory (LDA+DMFT), shed light on the differences in the ground states of the two metallic phases obtained by reducing the Cr-doping or by applying pressure, and how these differences reflect in the results of different spectroscopic techniques[1].
