چکیده

Coulomb interaction between electrons on p-orbitals of oxygen atom in strongly correlated compounds is not negligible, since its value (Up) has comparable order of magnitude with the value of Coulomb interaction on dorbitals of transition metal atom (Ud). We investigate the effect of taking into account Coulomb correlations in oxygen p-shell in addition to the correlations in the transition metal d-shell in frame of the LDA+U method. Our calculations for NiO, MnO and La2CuO4 show that this additional correction in general improves the agreement with experimental data for the spectral (energy gap values, relative position of the main peaks in X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and Bremsstrahlung isohromate spectroscopy (BIS)) and magnetic properties (magnetic moment values and intersite exchange interaction parameters values). 71.27.+a Strongly correlated electron systems; heavy fermions 74.25.Jb Electronic structure 79.60.-i Photoemission and photoelectron spectra Typeset using REVTEX 1

خواص ساختاری و الکترونی بلور سریم حاصل از محاسباتLDA+U

 In this work structural, electronic and magnetic properties of alpha and gamma phases of cerium crystal have been calculated by means of the LDA and LDA+U methods. The equilibrium volume and magnetic moment obtained from the GGA approximation in agreement with the experiment are equal to 27.64 Å3 and 0.00018 µB, respectively. This agreement shows that the 4f electrons in alpha phase are itiner...

First-principles calculations of the electronic structure and spectra of strongly correlated systems: the LDA +U method

A generalization of the local density approximation (LDA) method for systems with strong Coulomb correlations is described which gives a correct description of the Mott insulators. The LDA + U method takes into account orbital dependence of the Coulomb and exchange interactions which is absent in the LDA. The scheme can be regarded as a ‘firstprinciples’ method because there are no adjustable p...

Improved electronic structure and magnetic exchange interactions in transition metal oxides.

We discuss the application of the Agapito Curtarolo and Buongiorno Nardelli (ACBN0) pseudo-hybrid Hubbard density functional to several transition metal oxides. For simple binary metal oxides, ACBN0 is found to be a fast, reasonably accurate and parameter-free alternative to traditional DFT  +  U and hybrid exact exchange methods. In ACBN0, the Hubbard energy of DFT  +  U is calculated via the ...

Metal-insulator transition in VO2: a Peierls-Mott-Hubbard mechanism

The electronic structure of VO2 is studied in the frameworks of local density approximation (LDA) and LDA+U to give a quantitative description of the metal-insulator (MI) transition in this system. It is found that, both structural distortion and the local Coulomb interaction, play important roles in the transition. An optical gap, comparable to the experimental value has been obtained in the m...
