Ok, I think I understand now, in FIG. 1 of [1] the eg\sigma appears to be the high energy band while eg\pi the low energy band in the energy diagram.

In FIG. 5 of the reference [2] that you provided, I see eg\sigma peaks at high energy (i.e., at about 2 to 4 eV) while the eg\pi is at low energy (i.e., about -1 to 1 eV) in the DOS plot.

Thus, I think you will need to plot both (d-xy,dx2-y2) and (d-xz,dyz), then you can probably identify which is eg\pi and which is eg\sigma by looking at the DOS plot.

Based on Figure 4.2 in [3], (d-xy,dx2-y2) might be eg\sigma while (d-xz,dyz) the eg\pi.

I am really struggling. If you can do, please let me know.


Thanking you in advance

    According to [1], corundum has point group D3d in Schoenflies
    notation.

    Character Tables at [2,3] have for D3d:

    A1g with x2 + y2, z2 in quadratic notation

    Eg with (x2 − y2, xy), (xz, yz) in quadratic notation

    Prof. Blaha at [4] mentioned that with ISPLIT=4, the header of
    case.qtl is expected to give:
    s,p,pz,pxy,d,d-z2,(d-xy,dx2-y2),(d-xz,dyz),f

    Therefore, it looks like A1g is given as d-z2 and Eg is give as
    (d-xy,dx2-y2) and (d-xz,dyz).

    At [3], if you click the "Click here to get more detailed
    information on they symmetry operations" link on the webpage, it
    gives another webpage with another table having a "Matrix form"
    column that seems to correspond to the transformation matrices
    (Identity, Inverse, Rotations, etc. [5]) used create the character
    table [8,9].

    It is not clear to me what you mean by pi and sigma. Is pi for
    example when two d-xz orbitals overlap such as that in the image
    of [6,7]?

    Dear expert,
                         Can you anyone suggest what rotation matrix
    for V2O3 corundum structure with qsplit=4 should I take to
    decoupling the d orbital, a1g,eg\pi, eg\sigma?

    Thanks
