- We study how the k dependence in the self-energy affects the quasiparticle band structure and one-particle spectral functions. It is known that, in electron-gas-like materials, the self-energy depends significantly on k and there is a strong cancellation between the k dependence and the energy dependence of the self-energy. Analysis of the GW self-energy reveals that, even in correlated materials with narrow bands, such as SrVO3, the self-energy significantly depends on k. When the nonlocal effect is neglected, the quasiparticle band structure is over-renormalized, yielding too large mass enhancement compared to the case of k-dependent self-energy. The present result suggests that partial cancellation between the frequency dependence and the k dependence in the self-energy is important when discussing the quasiparticle band structure of correlated materials.

- In this work we have calculated U from first principles for the early lanthanides (Ce-Gd) using the constrained random phase approximation (cRPA). We compare the static limit of U with experimental estimations from x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS) spectra and also discuss the frequency dependence of U across the series. The localized subspace is constructed using maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs). We discuss the choice of parameters used to construct the Wannier functions and show that in the case of Eu and Gd, where the local density approximation does not yield the correct position of the 4f bands, a physically motivated choice gives better agreement with experiment.

Electronic structure of SrVO3 within GW plus DMFT
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a detailed calculation of the electronic structure of SrVO3 based on the GW + DMFT method. We show that a proper inclusion of the frequency-dependent Hubbard U and the nonlocal self-energy via the GW approximation, as well as a careful treatment of the Fermi level, are crucial for obtaining an accurate and coherent picture of the quasiparticle band structure and satellite features of SrVO3. The GW + DMFT results for SrVO3 are not attainable within the GW approximation or the LDA + DMFT scheme. We also compare the results of GW + DMFT to DMFT calculations based on the GW quasiparticle bands.

First-principles calculations of dynamical screened interactions for the transition metal oxides MO (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni)

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To facilitate reliable and accurate modeling of the late transition metal oxides from first principles, we present detailed and systematic calculations of the dynamical screened Coulomb interactions (Hubbard U) of MnO, FeO, CoO, and NiO within the constrained random-phase approximation. The matrix elements of the screened interactions are calculated in maximally localized Wannier functions. We consider the screened interactions not only for conventional models that include only the d-like bands but also for models that include both the transition metal d bands and the oxygen p bands. The screened interaction is found to be sensitive to the screening channels subtracted from the polarization function. The frequency dependence of the screened interactions of these oxides is characterized by the two sharp peaks in low-energy region that may be called "subplasmons," which arise from the particle-hole transitions between d and oxygen p states.

Symmetry-adapted Wannier functions in the maximal localization procedure

- A procedure to construct symmetry-adapted Wannier functions in the framework of the maximally localized Wannier function approach [Marzari and Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 56, 12847 (1997); Souza, Marzari, and Vanderbilt, ibid. 65, 035109 (2001)] is presented. In this scheme, the minimization of the spread functional of the Wannier functions is performed with constraints that are derived from symmetry properties of the specified set of the Wannier functions and the Bloch functions used to construct them, therefore one can obtain a solution that does not necessarily yield the global minimum of the spread functional. As a test of this approach, results of atom-centered Wannier functions for GaAs and Cu are presented.
