We have discovered in the photoemission spectrum of the metal phase of (V1-xCrx)2O3 a prominent quasi-particle peak at the Fermi energy, of amplitude larger than the rest of the V 3d spectrum by a factor approaching two. This result was achieved by using high photon energy to maximize bulk sensitivity and a small photon spot to minimize the sampling of steps and edges on typical cleaved surfaces. The peak is qualitatively much like that found in new 300K LDA+DMFT(QMC) theory, but shows important differences quantitatively. The paramagnetic insulating phase spectral shape shows large differences even with 300K theory spectra. We have also made high temperature studies of the PI phase using low photon energies in the UM home lab and observe high temperature correlation gap filling, qualitatively as predicted by theory.
