About one decade after the development of band theory, two Dutch industrial scientists at the NV Philips Corporation, Jan Hendrik de Boer (1899-1971) (de Boer was later associated with the Technological University, Delft) and Evert Johaimes Willem Verwey (1905-1981), reported that many transition metal oxides, with partially filled bands that band theory predicted to be metallic, were poor conductors and some were even insulating (de Boer and Verwey, 1937). Rudolph Peierls (1907-1995) first pointed out the possible importance of electron correlation in controlling the electrical behavior of these oxides (Peierls, 1937). Electron correlation is the term applied to the interaction between electrons via Coulombs law.
