Dynamical mean-field theory

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory.

The many-body formalism for dynamical mean-field theory is extended to treat nonequilibrium problems. We illustrate how the formalism works by examining the transient decay of the oscillating current that is driven by a large electric field turned on at time t=0. We show how the Bloch oscillations are quenched by the electron-electron interactions, and how their character changes dramatically f...

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory

Dynamical mean-field theory for quantum chemistry.

The dynamical mean-field concept of approximating an unsolvable many-body problem in terms of the solution of an auxiliary quantum impurity problem, introduced to study bulk materials with a continuous energy spectrum, is here extended to molecules, i.e., finite systems with a discrete energy spectrum. The application to small clusters of hydrogen atoms yields ground state energies which are co...

Dynamical mean-field theory of nickelate superlattices.

Dynamical mean-field methods are used to calculate the phase diagram, many-body density of states, relative orbital occupancy, and Fermi-surface shape for a realistic model of LaNiO(3)-based superlattices. The model is derived from density-functional band calculations and includes oxygen orbitals. The combination of the on-site Hunds interaction and charge transfer between the transition metal ...
