The self-energy-functional approach is a powerful many-body tool to investigate different broken symmetry phases of strongly correlated electron systems. We use the variational cluster perturbation theory (also called the variational cluster approximation) to investigate the interplay between the antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity of κ-(ET)2 X conductors. These compounds are desc...
متن کاملVariational, Self-Consistent Implementation of the Perdew-Zunger Self-Interaction Correction with Complex Optimal Orbitals.
A variational, self-consistent implementation of the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction (PZ-SIC), based on a unified Hamiltonian and complex optimal orbitals, is presented for finite systems and atom-centered basis sets. A simplifying approximation allowing the use of real canonical orbitals is proposed. The algorithm is based on two-step self-consistent field iterations, where the updat...
متن کاملFirst–Principle Calculation of the Electronic and Optical Properties of Nanolayered ZnO Polymorphs by PBE and mBJ Density Functionals
First principle calculations of nanolayered ZnO polymorphs (Wurzite–, Zincblende–, Rocksalt–structures) in the scheme of density functional theory were performedwith the help of full potential linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Theexchange - correlation potential is described by generalized gradient approximation asproposed by Perdew–Burke–Ernzrhof (GGA–PBE) and modified Becke–Johns...
متن کاملVariational Approximation of Functionals withCurvatures and Related
We consider the problem of approximating via ?-convergence a class of functionals depending on curvatures of smooth compact boundaries. We investigate the connections between the approximation problem and the lower semicontinuous envelope of the original functional. We provide some examples of lower semicontinuous functionals and their variational approximation.
متن کاملPropagating the Kadanoff-Baym equations for atoms and molecules
While the use of Green’s function techniques has a long tradition in quantum chemistry, the possibility of propagating the Kadanoff-Baym equations has remained largely unexplored. We have implemented the time-propagation for atoms and diatomic molecules, starting from a system in the groundstate. The initial stage of the calculation requires solving the Dyson equation self-consistently for the ...
